How to become a grown-up in 468 easy(ish) steps.

Step 233: Avoid having more money than class

There is nothing wrong with the following:

  1. Being rich, or working hard to become that way
  2. Loving nice things
  3. Using your wealth to purchase nice things

There is something a little wrong with the following:

  1. Flaunting your wealth in an attempt to make others jealous, or imply that your wealth says something about who you are

It’s not a cardinal sin. It’s just silly, and tacky, and small. Enjoy things because you enjoy them, not so others know you can enjoy them. Think Warren Buffet, not Donald Trump.
