  There's such a thing as being classy when you're poor too, believe it or not... and one of the things i was raised with was never to "notice" or "envy" other people and their excess. who cares if so and so can afford to buy this or that, the truth is, money supplies relief, but it does not buy happiness. if you're worried about people and their "bragging" about things they have.... maybe just maybe, it's more your problem than it is theirs.

  and this is coming from a girl raised in the projects and currently living only steps above that... so yeah. lol.

  My moms landlady is pretty wealthy....(she is in real estate)....but you would never know it...she shops at Goodwill and yard sales....when I was younger she would ask me if i could babysitt her 2 lil girls at her home....and boy this lady really didnt care about her money...it was ALL over the house....wads of $20's on the kitchen counter.....wads of $$ on top the TV in her living room.....her lil girls had their princess toy purses filled with $$....and her jewelery was just tossed wherever she took it off.....and yet her kids would wear clothes from Goodwill !!!

  Overall she is a nice lady...never snobby or rubbing her $$$ in our faces....

• Its not every person that post about having something, it just this ONE! I have never heard her say anything nice expect when she is speaking about what she has gotten her children. She is just rude and nasty.

  And this is the reason there is a group for Financially Comfortable Mommies..

  Let me put it this way, although it's improper to speak about money, because some are in a higher tax bracket, they can't mention what their kids got for Christmas, even thought the rest are doing the same, because the gifts to their kids are so out of touch for other ladies, they get bashed.

  Now, it's ok to listen to others cry about not having money or being on welfare but not that someone bought their child a 2009 Corvette. Not always is price mentioned but we can all assume what that car may cost, which is relatively the same thing.

  So I just read this post right, talking about carnivals and things of that nature and how this lady likes to spend money and goes overboard. So, every single time I have ever seen her write anything it's about how much money she has or how much she spends on something. I personally think it's sad when people are like this. When someones entire life revolves around money, they miss out on the TRULY important things in life. But the other people that I know that are well off, speak nothing of how much something is or how much they're spending. I guess it's all about class and how you decided to let other people see you.

• A snob is someone who rejects others for superficial reasons.  Which means, you don't have to be rich to be a snob.

• ha.  mine does the same!  the last time she came to visit me i literally kicked her out of my house because she couldn't get over the fact that my house wasn't spotless.  i was like ummm... sorry- the maid couldn't make it this week, check back in 10 years maybe.  UGH  ha.

  well... i have no money ha.  however, i was raised with money and everything a girl could want.  today i want to punch my parents in the face for some of the traits i got because of that! (just kidding obviously)...mainly the part where i'm horrible at keeping up with my house & doing laundry because i don't have a maid coming on M, W, F anymore...  damn!  ha. 

  but yes, i agree... it's tacky and classless to talk about how much money you have or how much you spent on something (unless someone asks).  all that says to me is that your trying to prove something.
  

  I know how you feel. I never really had to clean growing up and now, well my house speaks for itself LMAO. MY mom ALWAYS tells me, I have no idea where you got your cleaning skills from sure as hell wasnt from me LOL.

  
  

  
  

  I'm 24 & a mom to 1 crazy little monkey, Taylor Wrigley (go cubs go!). I haven't taken the easy road but I have taken a very blessed and fun one!  I'm also a full time working mom (i RAISE my son too btw, gasp!) as an interior designer. I live in Oklahoma (BOOMER!) out in the boonies. I love going to the playground, meeting new people, traveling everywhere, a nice ice cold beer, showing our son the world & having fun! My SO is that guy that has never met a stranger, works with his hands everyday, lives in flip flops, jeans, hat and a white tee. He is a wonderful HUBBY and an even better father.  I love my life!

• I definitely agree with this to a point...but when someone is constantly rubbing things in others faces..it's more annoying then anything.   I really don't care what anyone has.  I am not wealthy, but I can afford to get my family and I everything we need and want.  My husband works really hard for us to do this, he works a lot of over-time but we aren't deprived in any way.  But if I had a friend that was constantly rubbing this kind of stuff in my face...I wouldn't be their friend.  I think it's tacky and rude and nobody needs to know how much money you have or what you have.

• Were not rich but I am thankful that we aren't broke either..    I have seen people on here bragging about what all they buy their kids and how they spent like $5,898,889,887787  on each kids EASTER BASKET!  Hahahaha!  (OK I exaggerated on the amount *snicker*) And amazingly each of the perfect children are so thankful and not at all spoiled..  I'm sitting here reading this load of crap like, "Do you really think people believe this dumb sh*t?"   I'm sorry, LMAO, I really do get a kick out of someof the things people say..   When I see people bragging about things like this I just assume they are really some loser sitting in a cockroach motel trying to live out a fantasy land on the internet and make strangers think they are so much better than them..  Don't get me wrong, I am in NO WAY jealous of what these people CLAIM to have...  It's just that the truely wealthy do not gloat like this.
