I can't believe that no one has yet given the right answer so here goes,
It originates from the cutting of a slice of bread from a loaf which always produces one side with a greater surface area than the other. The well off would spread the butter on the large side while the poor would use the smaller side. Therefore to know how well off, or lucky, you were was to know which side your bread was buttered on.

You don't know what's good for you. The person who butters your bread is the person who can advance you. So if you know what side your bread is buttered on, you know who to impress or kiss up to. You know how to get ahead.

I think this refer to Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. The Butter side always goes on the outside to make a nice Grilled Cheese.

Basically, this is a question regarding wrong from right. It's like asking someone 'are you with me or your not, because i'm gonna do the right thing?' Hope this helped.

it's a vague saying implying you don't understand where your finances are coming from or how good you have it. It needs to be interpereted in the context of the sentence
