I have heard many people say they hate people who have moderate amounts of money. Some say all people who have not too much or not too little money are arrogant. Some say they feel entitled. Have also heard people talk about all the money they waste on making sure the car is gassed up, the bills are paid and they have food for the month when they could be feeding the poor in third world countries.
Personally, I know some people who are slightly above the curve who are the most arrogant people you have ever met. They think they will eventually own the world and everyone in it if they can just save up enough dough. I also know people who have just enough money that are extremely nice and would give you the shirt off their back. Before I was financially successful myself, I was about to lose my car and my house. A friend who had fifty dollars to spare loaned me money and said pay me back whenever.
I do agree that a lot of somewhat well off people waste a lot of money. I know of a guy that has a $300 PlayStation 4. Crazy thing is this... he is no good at games and doesn't play the dang thing. So it just sits in one spot and no one plays it. He has a son, but he will not let his son play it for whatever reason. This $300 piece of plastic and metal literally just sits there taking up space. That $300 definitely could have been used in a less wasteful way.
At the same time, I also know a family better off than the other one where the most family members play a XBox, though they could all play on a XBox One if they chose.
How do you feel about people who have just as much money as you or me? Do you hate them all? Do you feel most of them carry themselves in a certain way?
