There once was a very rich man that was out of town for vacation. He looked like any other vacationer, he was not dressed up he was just wearing casual clothes. One day on his vacation he decided to go into a car dealership and look around. The rich man found a car that he just had to have but he didn't have any sort of way to pay for it on him so he asked the sales person to call his bank and make it happen. The sales person rolled their eyes thinking that this was all a big joke, no one just came in and paid cash for a car on the spot, and certainly this man in shorts and a tee shirt couldn't afford a car such as this. The sales person all but insulted the customer, but the customer knew the bigger story. The sales person went and called the bank and very sarcastically explained the situation. The banker replied to the obnoxious sales person, does the customer want to buy the dealership or a vehicle because either way he's good. The shocked salesperson went back and sold the man the car.
This is a true story, not made up to make this post more interesting. The cockiness of some people genuinely blows me away. Why do you care what a person's bank account holds? A person's financial situation says very little about their character, it just means that either they or someone they love was very good at making money or managing it. I personally love it when I have absolutely no idea that someone is wealthy from the way they carry themselves.
A person could live in a huge house, wear all the right clothes, drive a fancy car and could absolutely be mortgaged up to their eyeballs. In the same respects, a person could live frugally and have a fortune in the bank. You don't know.
Treat everyone you meet with the same criteria. Be kind, be respectful, be genuine. It doesn't matter how much they have what matters is that they are a human being with a story to tell, a role to play. Each and every person that walks into your life was brought there for a reason. You don't get to discount them because you think that you are better than they are, in fact, if you automatically think that because you have more financially you are in fact better than they are then what happens if you lose it all tomorrow? Do not find your worth in your bank account, in your possessions, you will come up lacking every single time.
Go out....Be kind.
