    Wealth for its own sake is a disgusting pursuit, to me. No mistake, I have no problem with being wealthy, but if one isn't putting oneself in this position in order to enable others, what's the damned point?
    In a perfect world this would be the case, but that is something we are far, far from.

    Generally speaking, I think that wealthy people are responsible. The ones who show the wealth make up the tip of the iceberg and subsequently set the tone for that entire level of society. Its just an extension of stereotyping.

    I have no dreams or goals of being filthy rich, it would make me feel distant from the rest of the world. If I want to set myself apart from everyone else, I would rather it be through something I am exceptional at rather than how many Benjamin's I have in my wallet.

    I suppose making money could be viewed as something you could excel at, but I would rather be a professional racer (No, NASCAR/NASCAR truck series don't count, Formula 1 is another story.) than a multi millionaire any day.

    Believe it or not, there actually are somethings money CAN'T buy, love isn't the only thing.

    P.S. While we're on the money thing, I want to visit Sydney and the rest of Australia

Plus that time where she does speak up usually turns out to be one of the funnest things i have ever done and its great.

    Look what im tryin to say is, w/e u do dont feel underclassed. I'll tell you what if he dumps you cause ur poor, hes an asshole(gold digger) so i would more concentrate on being that sweet fun girl on the yacht that decides to be the first one to jump in the water and really show him why he brought u home instead of the lady wearing a corsette barely able to breathe
    this is the answer, u r u and if that doesnt work for him then atleast u tried and were honest with him.... i cant stand fake people

    Are you describing caste systems? I guess so, if that's what you mean. But in that case, we may as well include things like Burakumin in Japan.
    Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

    Caste systems are effectively socioeconomic enough to be the same as, "He has money, I don't." in many cases...
