Is anyone else annoyed when someone brings up the phrase "Yea, well, I make more money than you do" as if that is some means of validation or verification of "betterness" over someone else?
Someone recently whipped the statement out over other girls who squall over their boyfriends being in strip clubs.
Serious drug dealers make more money than the average person does. Does that validate what they do as right?
I bet you're answering "Hell no!" So obviously simply because someone makes a bunch of money doing something doesn't mean they are better than another person, or have a higher moral compass than another.
I know this one dancer, and I was at her club speaking to her (other stuff) when another came up. Somehow the conversation turned to something that I disagreed with her on. She whips out the "well, I make more money than you do chump" card on me, and I just shook my head and smiled as she walked away.
Anyone who knows me will readily admit I am past "doing well for myself" - I have the fully paid off BMW, the diamond rings and all that other shit that recently I have found doesn't really bring a lot of happiness in my life over. (But that is another subject.)
I guess I find it pathetically sad that someone tries to say their way is the right way simply because they have some change in their pockets.
It just makes the speaker sound petty and stupid to my ear. Maybe because I have "been there, done that" and now I realize how pathetic that little phrase is - and yes, I do feel foolish for speaking it now and then.
I mean that Paris Hilton girl is helluvah rich - does that mean she has any deep kind of insight on the world? From what I have seen, if anything, she is more clueless than the average person.
I guess the whole "Well, I make more money than you" is simply a pet peeve of mine. It takes a lot of fucking work to make good money. And I guess I just don't like to hear it being cheapened in that way.
