Does it seem like many "rich" people assume they are smarter than everyone else?

1 Answer

Answer :

I was going to say i’ve not come across one like this before, but then somone came to mind…when we have a disagreement about how something should be done, this person will sometimes support their argument by the fact that they’ve “made it” financially wise, which is indirectly implying their older age and exerperience and a better “know-how” is to thank for their financial success. Which makes sense in this case – more experience does help one get further in life sometimes. However, those who think they’re inherently more intelligent than the less wealthy folk, just because they’re wealthier, are retarded and arrogant. Then again you get people like this in all walks of life, not just the wealthy ones.
