Well its not that I want to be entirely filthy rich. I could never do that. It would be an insult to the memory of my parents, who worked so very hard and made a meager pathetic wage. I would feel an immense guilt if i ever engulfed myself in such things they couldnt possibly imagine (they were Italian immigrants who came to this country to work)
but i just want to compensate somehow for their misery. They were decent honest people but my goodness so very naive about the world.
But i wont deny that rich people are often stuck up...and greedy.
Is it normal to be THIS ashamed of poverty
