I like this post, its a real eyeopener... I dont care abot the materialistic possesions ppl have... I dont really think it has anything to with their success...happiness does over most things. People these days..becoming self centered...vain...and shallow. My parents (well I should say my family) has 6 cars..they just bought a really really nice 95 red mustang today..when we dont even need another car. *sighs* good post  |

Thinking you are better than everyone else is just a horrible trait to have. I competely agree with you. We are all equal no matter our status with money or location or what we wear. There is no need to be so arrogant and rude. Great post, makes me feel I am not alone.  |

All you've said is true with MANY people; HOWEVER, not All. We all have to be careful and not mis-read, mis-judge people, merely from what we see on the outside. Simply because one has wealth does not mean they are only interested in material things. Here is a good example: One time I was walking along the pier at a resort, looking at all the magnificent Yachts in the harbor. I struck up a conversation with a very lovely couple who were doing some work on their Yacht. I complimented them and said something like "Wow! it must be nice", and they just smiled, and the lady said very quietly "You know; my husband and I spent most all our lives back in Jersey; working, scrimping, slaving in the dry cleaning business; we never took vacations; and raised a fine family that are now grown and successful. We are retired and wanted to relax and enjoy the fruits of our labors; we want to enjoy what few years we may or may not still have. People come by here and just see this beautiful boat and do not see all that went into it or anything else prior to; but just come to conclusions about what THEY think is important or not". They invited me aboard but I had to be back at the hotel, but I never forgot that sweet couple and what they said. They certainly seemed like two people who DESERVED everything they had for they had worked hard enough for it.  |

I agree with you 100%....but I will add not all people that have money are snobs. Some of the wealthiest people in the world donate back to society. Those that do not, are snobs!  |

Just because you have better toys then most of the other people, that doesn't make you a better person. ( It also doesn't make you a worse person ) It just makes you someone with better toys.  |

Ugh, I completely agree. I can't stand snobbery or conceit in people. Most people who are like this are usually extremely insecure, or making up for something. It's one thing to be confident, but like you said, there is a line.  |

I agree with you. In fact, I despise diamonds and expensive jewelry. Diamonds suck. Arrogance just ticks me off. I hate people who act like they know it all and that they're better. I know someone like this who always goes up to people and says, "I'm richer than you!" Hrrrmmmmm. Makes me wonder whether she's just lying to sound cool. It's cooler to be modest, I think.  |

Thinker, great example of how people may be wrongfully accused of being materialistic. You made an excellent point, that I should have elaborated on in my post. Thanks |

Otter2... Yes, I agree with you. My post was focused more on people that flash their wealth and look down on others that have less. |

Author 13428... I agree with you. If I was wealthy... I'd want to help society or those in need also. I'd make sure that money wouldn't go to my head.  |
