I can't stand it when people with comfortably well-off families moan about money troubles. My boyfriend gets money paid into his account from his father, he's a student, all his bills and rent are paid by his Daddy. I'm having to work to keep myself afloat while studying.
If he has £300 in the bank, it's like he's broke. So stingy!

Sometimes they like to show off their extensive vocabulary in front of people, knowing that a shopkeeper, or regular checkout guy won't know what the f**k they're on about.
It doesn't impress me, they just look like a twat.

Also I hate when snooty posh people make snide remarks and laugh pompously. One example of this. I drive past a perfectly welcoming looking pub, suggest going there for a meal, I get: "Oh no, I don't like socialising with THAT kind of people." (snort)

Another thing is when they make comments to make themselves seem vastly superior to everyone else, if they don't know what the f**k they're on about. Example. One of my old friends from school and I were watching Pride and Prejudice at her Mum's massive house. Her Mum did this weird giggle and we asked what was so funny.. "Darling, it's what they're NOT saying."

    A lot of the kids at my college were like that. They could have picked any college they wanted and wouldnt have had a problem paying. They had brand new EXPENSIVE cars and all hung out with each other. Anyway, in one of my classes, we were talking about how money is tight and how some of us were barely getting by. One of the rich kids talked about fear of becoming middle class...and she was totally serious. I wanted to strip her of her expensive clothes, get her a job at Burger King, and make her live in a normal sized house.

    I know exactly what you mean, my friend with no siblings is super spoiled, and she is always wanting more. I think being comfortably, or extremely wealthy has an affect on most people, and it isn't pretty. at least the way the economy is, they won't be so happy anymore...hehe. I don't think there is anything wrong with disliking snooty people, but dating one...that's a bit odd

I've learned to work for what I want even tho my parents have money(bought my own truck at 16 from working in landscaping) My pap is pretty well off since he played in the stock market and he complains about gas prices he is one the rich guys in our town(only about 900 people in our town) and he buys a new vehicle every 2 years(doesnt lease he buys)

    No you just don't like rich people. I'm snooty as shit but only have 7 dollars to my name at the given moment. Don't have to be rich to be an upturned nose-ass mother f*cker such as I. is it the money you're jealous of, or the impeccable taste?

    Well now it sounds like you're all set to trot with a neanderthal from the sounds of it. From an American point of view and from what I've read, I believe that your boyfriend could possible be gay. He probably worked hard to save that money and doesn't see you as being worthy for a penny of it due to the fact that you are a girl and lack male genitalia

    -simple as that-

    What you don't like - or who - is your boyfriend's behaviour. Perhaps you can give him an education about the real world of people and how to be respectful and appreciate their dignity - a quality that appears to be missing & that $ doesn't make up for.

    Yeah can't see that working out then. You can get posh or quite well off people who really don't rub it in your face, but people who flash it around all the time really do piss me off, I know lots of students like that, I can't be doing with it.

    I understand how you feel, although people only know what they have experienced. In the majority of cases they have no excuse to behave like assholes though. I'm fortunate to have parents who came from poor/struggling backgrounds and to have friends who came from all walks of life to teach me the value of everything I have.

    Although I don't know what the rest of your relationship is like (for example, what you see in your boyfriend that you enjoy), I'd like to advise caution if it bothers you so much. I don't think I could put up with that kind of attitude. :/
