I know what you mean. I would think your character would enable people to look beyond your wealth. I know I would.
Have you seen money train? good movie.

layinback says my character stinksthe_alcatraz said:
and I don't have 400 dollar jeans
that look like shit if you ask me
to each his own opinion
I think you are both great characters and I respect you both very much
I will keep it at that
I've had great conversations with the both of you
You don't need designer jeans to look good...it's the inside of the man that matters!

Guys think that if they make more money they will get laid more. The media has told us this over and over again. I mean, Donald Trump is bald and old but he bangs supermodels. I find my single friends are way more likely to exaggerate this.
It's also an insecurity issue. Guys who never made any money before and then get into a job where they think 60k is a huge number will tell everyone about it. It's the "my cock is bigger than yours" syndrome.
My plan (if I sell enough stuff) has me at 67k plus 3 in RSP matching. I'll probably do closer to 55k. I also have a second job to pay for travel and fun stuff whch will hopefully pull in another 10 this year.

Your business success vouches for your character. Word of mouth is probably your best marketing tool and people would not hire an undertaker who they couldn't trust to put grandma 6 ft under.

Interesting notions...
My husband had been in oil and gas for 20 years. One of the things that I distinctly remember the O&G Fraud attorney said of him after extensive interviews (that could put us both in harm's way for selling out all of the thieving POS that have been ripping off millions for many MANY years. He pursued my husband for months begging for his help to put these people behind bars. My husband always refused because he feared for our safety. It wasn't until I told him that HE MUST do the right thing, that WE would be ok because our karma is good that he agreed to help out.), "You know after all the interviews I have done with everyone in this business NO ONE had a singular negative thing to say about your husband."
... and no one who ever speaks truth will be able to.
Money is a necessary evil.
It may not make the world go round but love DONT pay the rent.
As for assassinating someone else's character just because it makes the assassinator feel superior, that is sorta tacky.
But then again, I suppose that we are all guilty of behavior that we aren't particularly proud of.
For those of you who think that you would judge someone based purely on their likability and not be impressed by someone's success... you guys are sorta fibbing, that is, not unless YOU have traveled in those circles on a regular basis. I mean, what is there to be impressed about insofar as wealth when YOU have achieved the same? After you have achieved a certain level of success, the bar will be raised. It will be then alone that others will no longer be able to impress you with *stuff* but by WHO THEY ARE ALONE.
I think that Ms HeatherRae quoted an excellent maxim. It is now one of my favorites.
"Men are best measured like trees, when they are fallen."
.... think on that.
A man has to be a tree first, before he can fall.

I have never lied. My friends know I do well, but they have never flat out ask how much we make though. If they did I wouldn't lie though. Although now that we are new business owners we aren't as well off as we once were. Hopefully that will change with hard work

Try being a woman. Men brag INCESSANTLY to us about how much money they make; how important they are; etc etc etc. It is nauseating. Some of them try to be subtle about it, and others beat you over the head with it.
