Re: Wealth

Plenty on here like to brag about their wealth and how the hoi polloi should just "put up with it".

Re: Wealth

I haven't noticed anyone bragging about their wealth. Are there any millionaires on this forum?

Re: Wealth

I expect anyone who owns property in London is probably one Tara, little good it does them though as we all need a roof over our heads.

Actually Purwell I haven't seen any bragging either?

To be considered wealthy these days you need to have a good few million in the bank.

Often people have worked hard for the money they have earned. It is usually the workshy who moan about the perceived wealth of others.

Re: Wealth

Having worked in all types of houses from Esher to Wandsworth which covers from one extreme to the other. So many times have I observed that those less well off are happier and have more friends than those in upmarket areas. These people are more concerned about status and on upmanship with the only friends that are hangers on.

So wealth comes in many forms -happiness-financial- friendship-loyality- family-health, not neccessarily in that order .

Who has done that purwell ? We've had lively debates about how the system works but I've never felt anyone said or meant they are bragging or saying put up with your lot.

Not always t, many people work hard long hours and never get half of what other work shy people get. We don't live in a fair society if we did no one would be able to moan about their lot they could just work harder. It doesn't work like that.

I wouldn't want to be wealthy I am happy being poor .

If you are wealthy it must be difficult to look forward to 'the little things in life', those things which can be easily bought must lose their novelty if they are freely available every day.
