Keep in mind through this whole thing i am not trying to brag. So i hate how everyone at my school thinks that being rich solves all your problems well it doesnt.i know because my family is rich like we own a plane ( not bragging ) and look what happened to me.and i hate how i get tons of random supposed friends who the second i dont give money to them they go back to treating me like a nobody. I just sometimes wish we were poor… sorry this is a pretty random post but its what was on my mind

ugh, shows i how low people are, if people diss u cuz u wont give em money?? thats pathetic. sometimes people can be so damn selfish. and dont worry bout it being random bout 50% of my posts are hella random
I wonder what dawg will say
Well, you don’t want to be poor. Be careful what you wish for, ’cause you just might get it, eh? Just be thankful that you were born into a family with money. And it’s not really ‘you’ who is rich – it’s your parents. So maybe next time your friends ask you for money, tell them that. Also, ‘friends’ who just want to be your friend because you have cash, aren’t really your friends. You need people who like you for who you are, not what you have.
I like being poor.
orangish – you are one of kind then. ;]
Yay I’m special. 😀
haha, of course! :]
Well i do have money on my bank account that my parents dont care what i do with i think they ask for money because i buy my best friend presents for christmas and birthday and people ask him where did you get those jordans or where did you get that jersey and he says me but we have been friends since we were 5 but they expect to be my friend for a month and get money
Hmmm – what will dawg say? hmmm … thinking… (and eating) … … all for effect to build the suspense and drama 😀
soon dawg
That’s ’cause they’re greedy. I used to buy my good friends x-mas and b-day presents, granted, they weren’t expensive sneakers and jerseys, but I did what I could. Don’t worry about those kids. Tell ’em to get lost.
Seriously, Dawg… the suspense is killing me!
GG is on point here. First off, it’s your family that is wealthy – and that is a wonderful thing – yes, they keep money in your account for you to use to teach you how to be responsible… there are many things in life that you will never “want” for … like food, shelter etc. being money poor sucks but it’s not the end of the world but life for folks who work super hard for little pay is hard … so, like GG said – you don’t want to be money poor.
That said, I know some of the poorest people that have some of the richest lives – rich in their families, friends and relationships – they’re rewarded by things they do that fulfill them and are rewarding.
there’s a saying – “You Can Easily Judge the Character of a Person by How He Treats those who can do Nothing for Him”
but notice that there is no mention of “how much money he gives” – you will always find that if you have a few dollars more than the next guy – someone will want it. … that is is not to say that your less wealthy REAL friends will never ask for money or help … but more often than not, they will wait for you to offer assistance.
There’s a lot of gray area when it comes to friendships between those who have money and those that don’t.
… and for the record – I usually get my best friend beer and cigarettes for christmas 😉
accountant dawg
I’m dirt poor my grandma pays for my iPhone. But I live in a trailer park and it seriously sucks but I have some amazing friends. Poor people seem to be more grateful for what they have and are very down to earth. But that’s just from my expierence.
Thats just it i want to be down to earth but people think i cant bebecause im rich i cant assosciate with certain people but i hate that.for example some people on my basketball team are poor am i supposed to keep away from them and not pass the ball?but there not just poor there freaking funny i wish i could walk into school and not be labeled a rich kid
ugh i hate stereotypical people, they get on my nerves..i dont blame u for wanting to walk in school with no labels just be a regular average person….
Well i dont want to be average but i dont want to be labeled rich kid. I want to be labeled basketball player,funny,and a good friend
you want to be “down to earth”? then you need to respect people for who they are with all their differences and similarities – in a basketball game – money means nothing at all – i should be the last thing on anyone’s mind – a great player is great no matter what he/she has or does not have – anyone who wold not pass the ball to a 90% 3-point shooter with the game on the line just because he’s homeless/poor would be a major league idiot
if the other rich kids on the team say “don’t pass the ball to to “joe” because he’s poor”, they are also selfish idiots – what matters is winning the game so you use your best players to do so – period.
you might not “hang out” after the game – you might not even like each other – but in the game or for any task – you use the best people available.
unfortunately – if your family is rich – that’s what people will some see and judge you by – it becomes up to you to prove that you are more than that – just like rich people tend to see poor people as “poor and lazy” – but people who are shallow are probably not people you want to be friends with in the fist place.
that said – you made all sorts of judgments about some of the people here on SP – only to find that some of us are very different from what you thought when you took a few minutes to see past the surface. “labels” never tell the full and accurate story – in another post you asked me what my political party affiliations was – the reason i did not answer you was because that “label” does not define me – there are things I agree with and disagree with about both parties – the party I am registered as is only my choice for which party primary i choose to vote in – in my lifetime – i have been registered with BOTH parties at different times (i only switched once)
being rich does not mean you can’t socialize with poor folk – just like being poor does not mean you only want money from rich people
If the poor kids are freaking funny – then hang out with them – but only if they’re honorable and fair – i know plenty of very funny and charming people (rich AND poor) that will take every last penny you have if given the chance.
honor dawg
I’m not bragging, but my first car was a ’78 Buick Elektra power sedan.
Paid for it by myself when I was 15.
The thing is, my parents were more than capable of buying me a brand new car.
You don’t appreciative things as much when they’re just given to you.
Labels are just that, labels.
Instead of being known as “that spoiled kid,” I was known as “there’s tank with his badass grandma car that 8 of us can pile into.”
I don’t know what kind of school you go to.
I played baseball.
And where people came from or how much money their parents had, meant nothing.
We were a team.
I think you’re the one throwing yourseld into this predicament.
Trust me im not throwing myself in this predicament and im not saying i dont pass the ball to them im saying thats what everyone expects me to do
Hmmm – I spend more than “a few minutes” thinking and crafting responses to help you … not that it matters whether you think they are helpful or a crock of shit … but to completely ignore or barely acknowledge them speaks volumes – remember – you get what you give – if you don’t want to step up your “game’ on this court (this thread and others you’ve started) … i’ll go find another “game” where they like my “style of play’
I’ll help as best I can and know how – but I’m not going to carry you – work with me kid – I’m giving you 100% and you’re sitting on the bench eating ice cream.
team dawg
