Recently, my coworkers have got it stuck in their head that I'm rich. I never talk about my material possessions at work, and they have never seen me in street clothes to know whether or not I have designer labels (Wal Mart is as designer as it gets!!). I refuse to tell them how much money I earn on each paycheck or how much I have in the bank. I also refuse to let them know that I'm saving as much money as I can for a newer car. I've looked at them repeatedly and said "White don't mean Rich!!" And I've also told them not to worry about my bills since they aren't paying them!! I'm wondering if others are apt to judge other people's wealth based strictly on skin color?

From your initial paragraph, I'd assume that most of your co-workers are of a different color, so it's probably more a matter of them seeing one difference and assuming there must be others. If white meant rich, "trailer trash" and other derisive terms wouldn't exist.
If you want it to stop, your best bet would be to reduce the differences: observe how they talk and act about money and mimick them. Don't overdo it though, they may get offended if they catch on.
