Never be intimidated by people's wealth; it's not the American way, way: where all people are created equal. Just remind yourself that although they have money, they are no better than you, no more worthy of happiness than you, and no more valuable than you.
They are, in every respect that matters, your equal.

- meddlepal 10y agoEh... They may very well be more valuable than you or someone else if for example they are a successful entrepreneur that has created and manages a business that in turn makes others successful, or created an invention, or invented a drug.
- moron4hire 10y agoThere is a difference between knowing this and feeling it when people are glowering at you.
- ktRolster 10y agoPlease, feel free to glower right back at them. The doubt is your own.
- godzillabrennus 10y agoWe are all created equal in the eyes of the law but not all of us work equally hard nor are we all blessed with the same family support structure. Many with wealth inherited it. There is less upwards mobility in the USA than any modern period.
- ktRolster 10y agoYou have changed the topic to your own preferred talking points. You should be a politician: you'd be good at it.
- baus 10y agoTrust me I'm not intimidated, but I don't want to feel excluded because of my social status either
