 | Being modest is a virtue. Meawhille, everything is changing, today you are showing off your wealth, but have you think how embarrassed you would be if one day you became poor? |

| The white powder on the plate with the credit card is probably supposed to be the drug cocaine. We used to say that "cocaine is God's way of telling you that you have too much money." The rich make displays of money. The wealthy have no need to make such displays. The wealthy may have financial riches or they may not. Wealth can be derived from more than just money. A happy life, a good wife, a pack of children or meaningful work may provide the greatest wealth. |

| Quote: Wealth can be derived from more than just money. A happy life, a good wife, a pack of children or meaningful work may provide the greatest wealth. Griz, I can not agree with you any more. I guess that some rich people actually feel very lonely and bored so that they just want to find some comfort from showing off their wealth. |

| I don't understand why anyone would need to show their riches. Are they inviting thieves into their homes? Are they tempting the kidnappers? Or are they trying to tell the poor how much of a lowlife they are? Are they insecure about themselves that they have to show what they have? Showing off wealth is very unbecoming and it shows deep-seated insecurity. It shows a person's lack of class and lack of tact. |

| I could not agree with GRIZ and SHESGOTTOBE more. You guys put it into words perfectly. One, there is a difference between the rich and the wealthy. Two, some people look rich but are actually not worth anything (their banks are empty). Third, it's dangerous to show off your money like that. I actually think the people who are wealthy have great discipline, because they had to save that money. This is because earning money usually makes someone spend more -- in most cases...this is just human behavior. It really is something someone has to learn or had to have grown up with watching. - Moondollars http://community.faithvine.com/ |

Personally, I find no difference between them. |
