yes , i realise this discussion is about egos, snobs and whatever, and i have my own opinion on those people. Personally i think its a way of covering up their own personal insecurites and or esteem issues. Its interesting as ive met many many ego driven snobs in my life, and mostly they seem to me to be so concerned with image, they actually miss the joy of what money can actually do for one. It only gives one, choices. Ive been a milionarire in my life, owned yatchs and fast cars, and could still buy them but i can honestly say they give little real pleasure if the only reason one accumalates such things is to impress others. Which i did,nt, so really did have a lot of fun. Anyway, thats my angle on egos and snobs for what its worth , and i believe it dos,nt have a gender boundary , there are as many female snobs as there are male, thats certainly what i found when i owned the visably outward trappings of wealth. People can be damn shallow was my experience, so when i decieded to live a simpler life, my long term good looking lady opted to fly the coup too, and good ridance.
Anyway the purpose of my post really was,nt just about egos and snobs, but rather to ask, if your husband is as you say, and had those tendencies even before you were married? What does it say about you that you married him , and still continue to stay with someone who apears to be such a self centered jerk? It dos,nt sound like a whole lot of fun, and lifes pretty short is,nt it? I agree kiwiguy and sorry to hear that you woman left. Was she a snob? I look at most of the people that win the lottery and they spend, spend, spend and what happens in the end? They end up divorced, miserable and broke, and then realize that money isn't everything. How sad. I am completely happy as long as I can pay my bills and have enough left over to buy a couple of little things (decorations for the house, candles, etc.). I don't think money buys happiness but having enough to pays bills and take care of your family in an adequate way then it seems to stress people out a little less. I absolutely cannot stand people that think they have to constantly try to show everyone around them that they are better then them, have more money, a nicer car, better kids, skinnier than others, prettier than others and that ever guy wants her (I worked with a woman like this...lol). It was completely disgusting as she would lie to everyone and because I worked close to her, i knew that her husband was in jail for a second felony charge, her sons got in bar fights and her daughter was turning into a tramp. No one else in our office knew of any of this as she lied to everyone to make herself look perfect and that everyone should be jealous of her. I actually felt sorry for her, it was quite sad that she felt the need to do this. I was her friend in the beginning until i got to know her better. When I asked to be transfered out of that office with her, i wrote her a letter and told her that she didn't need to be that way, that people would like her and want to be her friend if she would just be herself. As with anyone with an ego, she did not acknowledge the letter at all. It eventually turned out that her husband left her and her own daughter couldn't stand the way she was and moved in with her father.
For all of you who think we give a crap that you think you have a better car, perfect kids, great husband/wife, etc. people that live life to be happy do not give a flying crap about how much s_____t you have!!!!! Thanks for letting me vent a little and KIWIGUY... good luck and I hope you find a good woman who will appreciate the fact that you have learned that money isn't everything.
Thanks,
