Why do people in the west have this "i have more things im better than you" attitude?

Because I have enough money and credit rating to not only get a jumbo loan but to be able to have a spare couple hundred thousand dollars for the downpayment?

And enough money and credit to buy several nice cars? (Don't owe anything on any of them by the way, paid them all off)

Or that I make enough money to run 50 grand a month through my credit cards and pay them each month?

That would be my guess as to why I'm better than you.

Just kidding...I don't blatantly feel that way at all about other people. But I do take pride in kicking ass and outworking my peers to run circles around a lot of them. I have a competitive personality and can't help that.

I own both of my cars. I haven't had any credit cards since I was like 25.

That is a good thing that is for you personally. I get the same kicks. I want money for me not to show off to everyone else.

There is a big difference for wanting nice things for yourself and family. and getting those nice things to show how great you are.

your work and dedication you put in makes you great. not your line of credit or the amount you are able to drop.

every millionaire i met doesnt ever brag about numbers or makes themselves try to sound better than me. the people tossing numbers around are always the chumps being used.

your jumbo loan is just that "a jumbo loan".

didnt you notice they were giving "poor people" jumbo loans over the past 4-5 years or did you miss the memo?

NICE. that i can respect. if shit hits the fan you will be one of the front runners. i got rid of all my debt now. i hated it.

i live a less flashy lifestyle. and am saving more money focusing on longterm.

the western mentality is living to die. how much can i spend today and not worry about tomorrow.

but it sucks for guys who do manage their funds properly. we are going to end up footing the bill for everyone else anyway.

I agree, it's childish and shallow.

pick it up!

ebus_dk you are a failure at the adult industry. why are you still here?

you even change your nickname and people still know who you are. why hide behind a nickname? same idiot new nickname. never makes a difference.

No, they didn't give poor people a jumbo loan. Jumbo loans aren't covered by Fanny Mae or Freddy Mac. You have to meet a LOT of criteria to get one.

What they did was give out a shit ton of loans that most anybody CAN get. But they put them in homes that were out of their reach. But hell...with the prices of homes a couple of years ago, they were all out of reach for a regular working guy.

And you're 100% right about being "great" because of what you do (not how much money you have). But for most people (not talking about folks who inherited money), the money you make and the things you own are the direct result of how much ass you kick at what you do.

So yeah...I COULD see a multi-millionaire walking around in rags and not "bragging" because he's eccentric. But I've never seen a poor person driving around in a nice car and living in a 5,000 square foot home lounging in his pool (unless he's "newly" poor and just lost everything and on his way to eviction).

I think that the people who inherit money and come from "old" money like that are the ones who don't brag or show off. It's just natural to them.

But most people like me who busted ass to make it happen? I'm proud of my accomplishments. Especially in this kind of business where I'm working alone in my office with nobody to slap me on the back and say "good job".

So yeah, it does feel kinda good to have people say "Nice car!" or "I love your house". I know, it sound dumb and shallow (it is), but I'm only human.

the best breasts in the west, the best ses in the west.

It is not just the West. Most Russians I know are worse....

I have a wife of 23 years, 2 well behaved and respectful kids heading for success in life
I have a job I am very happy with and good friends to help me through tough times

I have it good... better then a lot

Why?

Most people who act this way do so because they're insecure and need to make themselves feel superior. They honestly believe that acting this way will make people like them, but what it really does is make people despise them. Not because they're jealous, but because they come off as complete idiots. For me, what I own or whatever money that I have is not to show off or act like I'm better then anyone. Having a lot of money, cars, houses etc.. is all good, but don't throw your shit into people faces and act like you're so much better then they are.

In the end it's all about how happy you actually are. Is it real happiness or is it happiness that you made up to fool yourself?
