To be fed up with jealous people who seem to hate anyone who has more money than them?

I seem to epitomise what some people hate - I live in a gated estate, drive a 4x4, am a SAHM and send my children to private school. Why does this mean that some people think this gives them a right to be rude to me or about the choices my family make? I would never look down on anyone who doesn't have or do what I do, so why is it ok to do it the other way round? I am so fed up with it! And you know the ones I really can't stand? Champagne socialists who think they are all left-wing with socialist ideals but are really just like me!

I got heartburn from the French stick and pâté that'll teach me

BabylonElf · 17/12/2012 22:54

cat I just assumed that was how you rolled Xmas Wink

WorraLorraTurkey · 17/12/2012 23:00

Worra - how did you know about that woman who lived in a damp tower block? How did you find out so much information on her?

It was plastered all over the chat forum.

Someone googled her email address and lots of things came up...including her DH's work search advert on Gumtree and her address (can't remember why) then someone Google earthed it because they clearly had too much time on their hands and hey presto she was found out.

I suppose these things are quite simple if someone's that way inclined.

SarahWarahWoo · 17/12/2012 23:02

You still here? Haven't you got some champagne to quaff?

McChristmasPants2012 · 17/12/2012 23:03

BabylonElf · 17/12/2012 23:08

What's that about a lady in a damp tower block???

MissNJE · 17/12/2012 23:41

I would like to know out too!

Bogeyface · 17/12/2012 23:49

Thank you for teaching me how to be a better person OP.

Can I go back to my sums about how to have Xmas on no money when my husband wasnt paid his salary and was made redundant 3 weeks ago?

Not jealous of you, not at all. You have worked for what you have and I dont resent you the success and nice life. I do however take great issue with the fact that you assume that you are slagged off because of your money rather than looking at yourself and wondering if in fact you are lacking something that others have, rather than the other way around.

MissNJE · 18/12/2012 15:54

OP where are you?

bevelino · 19/12/2012 10:59

Original poster sounds suspiciously like an attention seeking troll. The type who make provocative and pointless statements on public threads in order to feed off all the outraged responses. Now he/she has had their fill we probably won't hear from them much more. It is very sad and such people need our pity.

Erm - A brain. Nervous system (faulty). Eyes (faulty). I think money can buy pretty much everything else. Shit, I'm poor whichever way you play it!

Nice sentiment, though, Cereal :)
