[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread.

I get the “Boring” idea. I’ve always found it ironic how uncreative most rich people are in basic living. Despite having the greatest resources to do almost anything, they mostly all (except ultra rich) gravitate to a certain, appropriate, SAME type of lifestyle...same appropriate home, home decor, same appropriate vacations, vacation homes, hobbies, interests, wine, food, dress, cars, pens, jewelry, pets, charity work, perhaps a side business, one quirky defining collecting habit, clubs...all.the.same. Rich out of central casting. People spend an Extraordinary amount of their lives trying to emulate what they think Rich people do. Even the Rich.  Or they do what the family “has always done”.  Yes, boring.

I don’t begrudge people who inherit money as they didn’t ask for that situation. Some are uncomfortable with it. I do find it unseemly to put down others who have not had your same advantages.

Yes there are jerks in every economic level but I find upper classes to be less friendly in general and I suspect it is due to fearing loss of their position, distancing themselves from their humble origins, or outright entitlement.

This fear...I see it in the car stickers people have showcasing their club memberships, vacation spots, private schools, etc. you don’t see Braggy car stickers in lower class areas. It says something of UMC that it is not good enough to be fortunate enough to attend elite schools/vacation luxoriously/belong to luxurious private clubs but that this privilege must be further advertised and emblazoned on luxury vehicles!!!....How insecure must people be?  This pride in elitism is shameful.

Well, I'd rather be rich and have to deal with jerks than be poor and have to deal with jerks. I've been both.
