Re: rich vs poor people as friends

(Anonymous) 2014-08-02 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
As someone who grew up in a neighborhood of rich people, I've had the opposite experience. Most of them are immensely entitled little shits that never learned to have manners or how to be polite at people without being condescending because nobody dared to speak up to them about how they behave. They have no sense of propriety about urging everyone around them to spend as much as they do and dismissing people's concerns by insisting whatever, it's only like, fifty dollars, and are the most blind out of anyone I've met toward the fact that they're making everyone else feel like shit when they toss around money like it's endless.

I prefer associating with middle-class people who are more socially aware.

It honestly sounds like the OP is talking about middle class people, they just worded poorly (or well if they were trying to get reaction). My experiences with the genuinely rich trust-fund crowd have been about the same as yours. "Polite" is one of the least apt descriptors I can imagine.

They put rich in the subject line, and when they associated being rich with being more polite... hahahaha...

If OP meant middle class, then as I said, I agree. And I agree that financially stable is a positive trait overall. But stability can apply to any level of income. It's at what level they are stable that changes, so that was worded poorly too.

"I would be most comfortable with friends at my income level"? That's true enough for most people, I would think.

I'm op and I'm honestly not sure how rich I'm talking here. It's all relative and different across the globe and people spend very differently too. I think middle class would be right. Affording Starbucks (just an example) is where it is, it means that a person has some disposable income. I'm talking about people in their 20s-30s.

I've had the same experiences with middle-class kids, so...I think there's a tendency for kids that aren't poor or lower-class to be entitled, thoughtless little shits when it comes to money.

IMO depends on where in the middle. Upper middle, yea. Lower middle, no.

Not saying everyone isn't polite, there are exceptions always, but is the overall trend that more money = more polite? Haaaaaaaa, no.

Middleclass for best class.

In my anecdotal experience you see the extremes of entitlement at either end of the scale.

Makes sense for it to be that way. The closer to the extremes you get, the more extreme the people get. When op says "rich vs poor" they're already comparing only the endzones which isn't the same as "I prefer my friends to be of the same income level as me" which is understandable to most people.
