Have you noticed differences in acting and thinking between rich and poor people.?

Question

Are we separating into different species?

Answer 1

Alright, so I do good for myself financially. And I can answer this question because I also know what it's like to be poor.

I do feel like rich people tend to always have their heads up their rears. They continually look down on people that aren't "in their league."

I for one hate this kind of attitude. I think that everyone who is rich and doesn't know what it is like to be poor should have to spend one day going hungry, cold, and not having much; might make them appreciate life a little more. They only appreciate the material things they have. At least this has been my experience.

Even though I do alright financially, I hope I never get like that. If I do, I give anyone on here permission to take all my money! I'm not wishing anything bad on rich people, but they need to get a social grip.

Answer 2

Of course we aren't separating into different species. That's preposterous!

How could there NOT be differences in the way rich & poor act & think? Someone who is rich is probably not thinking about how to feed his family or pay his power bill knowing that it's about to be shut off the next day. Rich guy is working on his golf score while poor guy is working 3 jobs to make ends meet. Poor people value their families because usually it's the only permeance they have in this life. Rich guy hardly ever sees family because he's too busy traveling on safari to hunt down a wild animal or pursuing the next business deal to make him richer. Poor guy values every moment of time with family because he knows the moments are few. Rich guy acts like the end of the world will never come while the poor guy knows the end of his world may be tomorrow.

This is just a scratch on the surface of the differences between rich & poor. Given even this limited information how in the world could the two act or think the same?

Answer 3

Depends on how the rich got rich and how the poor stay poor;

On the rich:
If they earned it; very little difference

If they stole it, stepped on some innocent people, or even killed for it; you bet there's a difference - they're worried someone might do the same to them.

If they inherited it; can you say 'stuck up!'?

On the poor;
If they're able-bodied to work but prefer to mooch on the state or others; this will add to the difference, big time.
If they're able-bodied but have been shunned for whatever reason - this will make little difference.
If they're otherwise-unable to fend for themselves for valid reasons (as viewed by the rich), then little difference.

Answer 4

Yes. I've noticed that rich people spend more money than poor people. Why is that?

Answer 5

Of course there is a difference!

Poverty isn't about a lack of money, it's about having a set of values and attitudes and habits that leave us broke.

I've seen "rich" people who are broke, but because of their actions, soon have money again.

Likewise, we've all heard the stories about some sap who gets a lot of money, blow is all on stupid stuff, and ends up living in poverty again.

I tell you, poverty is about attitudes and thinking and actions, not about having money!!!
