Sorry, but they were not portions...they were your quotes...and if you think that 'above average' is 'fairly wealthy' you need to study more economics and less ranting....jmo...
Wealth is totally relative. To many Americans, my family would be considered fairly wealthy. There are also many Americans that would consider me not wealthy at all. So, you see, it is relative.
Right they were my quotes, but they were messages to different people about different stuff. Not just one person. I can have lots of things that aren't material possessions and still not be rich. I wouldn't consider myself rich, but a lot of the families of kids I went to school would. I don't think I'm rich, I think I'm blessed with enough to get by and have some leftover. I am thankful for that. I never once said I was poor. And if you assumed that I felt I didn't have much and was still able to prevail from me saying:
I was taught by my parents that there are things more important than being popular. I had confidence without a play station. I wasn't picked on much at all.
And i never claimed to have had everything growing up. I was probably just a little above average. I did get a car from my whole family for graduation. That is about as far as it goes. I wasn't poor, but was far from a spoiled brat.
Then your assumption was clearly way off. How do you get that from that statement? That was in response to a women telling me that I was a spoiled brat. I didn't have a playstation, but in that context it most certainly didn't mean I was poor, it meant that I was able to not get picked on and I didn't have the latest video game system. Once again, that doesn't make me poor. Read the posts that that was in response to and you will see what I mean.
