A Rich Man Ignores a Poor Man

I am regular middle-class American woman, but I have been around the very rich, and I have been around the very poor, and this is my personal observation.
In general, the rich man doesn't have to worry where his next meal is coming from, but he is constantly worried about and obsessed with money; the poor man does have to worry where his next meal is coming from, but he doesn't worry much about and is not obsessed with money.
So that's how you tell them apart--one is well-dressed, and well-fed, and completely obsessed with his wealth, while the other is poorly-dressed, often hungry, and free from obsessions about the getting and keeping of wealth.
Also, on a very basic level, a poor man will hold the door for you for the sake of courtesy, while a rich man will expect you to hold the door for him :)

Get a job at a bank. Then you can check the balance on their bank account.
Rich people live at home with their mothers, saving rent money, and collecting rent from the houses they own.
Rich people don't waste money on shoes, jewlry, designer shitt, or Ferreri's because they are bad investments.
Poor people do the latter.
This is how the rich get and stay rich while the poor waste money on stupid shitt they dont need.

Rich man drives a Ferrari, wears Christian Dior, and eats at 5 star restaurants.
Poor man takes the bus, wears a bag, and eats at McDonalds.

When you are rich in spirit, you don't need to flaunt it but you just seem to enjoy giving. You're more gracious because you are not easily flustered being assured of your resource coming from the Lord, Himself. A poor man is easy to spot as he has nothing to give.

A poor man looks at you and smiles. A rich man looks at you and licks his chops.

Rich men have a self-sufficent atitude. You can also look at the shoes, if he's for real they'll be expensive. He can full you with a fake watch, but with shoes you can't really get away with it.
If your question was about something deeper, then have long meaningful conversations.

Just by looking its not possible.
Lots of rich people dress down, even their shoes may be the wal-mart special. - seen candid shots of celebs? Look like joe blow.
Talking to them is the only way.
