Reply #1: I picked this up from my dad........

[larrysh]

My father, who did quite well for himself over the years, never let his money change him one bit. As a matter of fact, I think the day he realized just how much he was worth he was more in awe of it, than
excited by it. Dad liked to dress comfortably, tennis shoes (the least expensive he could find), and a pair of blue jeans. A simple shirt,
a John Deere cap. On the weekends he seldom shaved.
He would go into a car dealership dressed like that and be virtually ignored by the sales staff, often having to hunt down a salesman on his own, as the staff would "pre-qualify" dad as a non-buyer.
Then, he would write a check for the car, the total purchase price,
and he usually got a pretty good deal as the salesman wold low-ball the car right off the bat, figuring my dad couldn't pay much more than invoice.

Now that he is gone, I often find myself, dressed in blue jeans, an old pull-over shirt, and my $99.00 cowboy boots, also being ignored. Happened the other day at the bank, where I now have low 7 figures
in various funds. Nothing I love more than being sneered at by some
24 year-old "bank officer" (read clerk). I love to see their faces when they pull up my checking account and discover that, yes indeedy,
I qualify to get a cashiers check .....at no fee......
