Actually, Precious, she is wealthy. And if you're making what some associates are, that makes you wealthy too. Her income puts her in the top 3 or 4 percent of American households. That's right, Princess. Households. If you don't think she's wealthy, or you don't think between you and your husband you're wealthy, then I suggest you turn your Thomas Pink shirts and your Bergdorf bras and your fucking handbags over to the Salvation Army or some prgram set up to help homeless or poor people dress well enough to get a job paying $7 bucks an hour, shag your pampered little ass to Wal-Mart, and try survivng for 30 days on what most people in this country of ours make.
You want to go getting snide on anybody on this board because they don't make a few million a year? Fuck you. Get over yourself, your inane little shopping habit, your faked sense of superiority and stop feeling sorry for yourself because you weren't able to go to law school.
You work in a nice, clean office that's cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and let's you buy your clothes someplace other than Target. So you rub elbows with people who could buy and sell you all day long. Do you really think anybody here is impressed? We all spend a lot of time around people who are far wealthier than us. The rest of us just don't feel that we're entitled to claim some sort of special status based upon the reflected glory of their money.
You want people to lay off you. Fine. Learn to stand up on your own two legs. Make some jokes. Slam a few insults that don't involve your knowledge of what the rich folk do with their money. Learn to laugh at yourself. And most important, get it through your thick fucking skull, that WE DON'T CARE IF YOU're A PARALEGAL OR A LAWYER. The only asshole making a big deal of it is you.
My fucking God, girl. Lose the attitude and grow a fucking spine.

Hey! Lay off those who buy clothes at Target. I like their underwear. I'm wearing their Xhileration brand microfiber bikini (lime green) right now, and they're the only ones who carry the cami tops that I like. Everyone else puts a stupid shelf bra in cami tops. Shelf bras are thoroughly and completely inadequate to hold these puppies up, and shelf bras are stupid if you're wearing a regular bra. I probably wear cami tops purchased at Target three or four days a week under whatever other blouse I'm wearing.
And I love their jewelry section. I end up wearing great stuff that none of my friends have because it doesn't occur to them to troll Target for funky jewlery. I'd name drop the people who've complimented me on Target purchased jewelry, but that'd be gauche.
