Re: When do you consider someone well-off?

It's hard to say. I went to school with a lot of these people. It's a subtle combination of how they dress, wear their hair, speak. Truly well-off people - those born into it - will generally never "sink down" to lower levels, and talk to people like they take respect for granted. But not in a rude/macho way - it's more organic. I can't quite explain really.

I think people who are well-off just lose perspective sometimes. Is that what you mean? I even know well-off people who are actually pretty nice - but their idea of how the real world is flawed because they've forgotten or never realized how little some people have, leading them to say snobby things not because they're trying to be snobby, but because they honest to god have no idea why five dollars is expensive to some people.

that is part of it, yes. But certainly not all. (And I never said they can't be nice). But there's also this...entitlement? Or maybe that's too strong a word, but, taking things for granted?

AYRT -

(And I never said they can't be nice).

I know. I was just adding to what you were saying, because honestly, while you never said they can't be nice, let's be honest, a lot of well-off people are snobby. I was just saying sometimes it's this unintentional snobbery as well. I think taking things for granted is a good way of putting it.

In my own experience, people who came into money later tend to be worse (in terms of dealing with employees, waiters etc) than people who come from money, but obviously exception apply.
