(3,811 posts)Being rich or being poor doesn't dictate how a person values money. There are both rich and poor people with a healthy perspective toward money, and there are both rich and poor people with an unhealthy perspective on money. I know this is true because I've seen it first hand.
There are some people here claiming that poor people all share some particular, monolithic perspective toward money. That's utterly false and a very poor generalization.
All poor people aren't alike and all rich people aren't alike.
I'm really tired of hearing that white people can't talk about race relations, rich people can't talk about poverty or inequality, etc. The civil rights movement would have never succeeded as it did in today's climate. Martin Luther King would've been attacked as sell out for consorting with the enemy and white people who participated in the movement would've been attacked as guilt-ridden, insincere, hypocrites.
