[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who are saying who are your rude friends are thinking of very direct questions about your salary or wealth. There are many subtle ways of asking and conversations often hint at wealth. For example, if you start talking about vacations with someone, it will come up that you go skiing in your Aspen vacation home. Or that you are going to the Ritz in Bora Bora, etc. Or you could lie about those things or downplay them.

People are confused about why a rich person would lie. Here is the painful truth. If you think someone is rich, you expect them to pay for you almost all the time. For example, you have dinner with Bill Gates or Michael Jordan. Do you expect to pay 50/50? Many people expect them to pick up the entire bill. Every time! While a rich person can easily pay the bill, they don't like being taken advantage of. [/quote]

Yes, i would expect to pay 50/50 dinner with Gates unless he insisited we go to some place i cant afford (i would want him in advance). i am not rich (not poor either). It looks like you live in a  constant fear of being taken advantage of.[/quote]
