Jed, a poor mountaineer who barely keep his family fed.
ok so what I am getting at here is... can people really appreciate money without having been poor or middle class first?
I have seen tight fisted rich people who would do everything from taking ketchup and other condements home from McDonalds etc so the just didn't have to buy them.
To people with money who found it beneith them to settle for some thing they considered only for people with less money such as take a bus.
But just to make it interesting I have seen poor or middle class people WIN the lotto or powerball who go over board and spend every dime until it is all gone.
So does having money before you had to put in an honest days work make you Snobby?

no... you cannot appreciate anything without
understanding the value of its polar opposite.
and let me also add that there is a distinct
difference between knowledge and understanding

i really needed my work to learn to understand the 'value' of money, to be honest.
I feel an allowance topic coming back up [img]wink.gif[/img]
