Yesh blads

Everyone likes money.. If I see somebody who is doing well for themselves I think 'good on ya mate'. But at some point does a person's wealth become 'vulgar' to others?

i don't care if someone makes more money than me as long as they don't slap that shit in my face...i have a cousin who acts like he's got all the money in the world but what's funny is that i know he borrowed the money!

I ain't got a problem with people who have worked hard for their money, as long as they don't show off about it in front of my face. But the worst ones are the ones who don't work hard for their money and show off.

Like others have said, I respect anyone who has worked hard to build a fortune or make money... but showing off about it is when it crosses the line into vulgarity. There's nothing wrong with working hard, making money and living life comfortably. I have an uncle who is rather well off, and he's very generous and modest at the same time. Shame his kids ain't... they're very spoilt and think they can do whatever they want because daddy's money will solve all their problems.

I also think asian families tend to get more jealous... even over little things like someone in the family getting a new car or going on holiday and they tend to think that if someone in the family is doing well money-wise then it automatically gives them the right to try and scrounge of 'em... at least thats always been my experience.

Just from my own personal experience, I seen it more with asian families who don't even pretend to be happy that someone else has something good lol.
