How much are you worth?
Frequently, on the websites of Yahoo news and on Youtube, I see articles and videos with the heading "How much is (personality's name) worth?" or "What is (personality's name) net worth?", and it makes me wonder.Firstly, why would you (the writer/video maker) put that information out there? Isn't it private? Are you even authorized to do so? And wouldn't that information make the persons targets for theft, kidnapping, etc, thus endangering persons' life?
Besides that, how shallow is it to base a person's 'worth', only on how much money they've made/inherited/etc.? But then, that's the state of the world that we live in, isn't it? Very sad, but very real. If you don't have money or wealth, then you don't have 'worth'...to many people.
And that's just another reason why some feel that they are better than/superior to others...Unity struggles to be heard amongst the noise of the dividers. But, we should all know our worth, without depending on others for confirmation.

Profound words CC.
Eh, I had use of that yday as I wanted to find out how much
Elon was willing to waste of his own money
on the Twidder deal.
Well eh paid 44 but seem to have 3 or 4 times that left.
So I recon he could risk losing that for a good cause.

But then, even the 'not-so-poor' can't find it.....

Like you and me, we're happy with the small house. We don't need a 33000m2 humongous villa as long as we can sit watch the sunset on a lovely nearby beach together. Hand in hand, head in lap and what more lovely speach hyperboles one can think of ..

Isn't it about status, fantasising and securing a future?
I think a very special lady like you has been
observing that money does not
"make the man".

If you read the profiles on CS the common one liner is "YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN MONEY."
I've noticed a common theme with the Men I knew (Co-workers/classmates/neighbours). They all wanted to be rich. They chased the almighty dollar, now in our age they all had heart attacks. Some died, the others have chronic diseases and others have lost their minds. Their wives are enjoying the fruits of their greed.
The rich takes care of the rich.
Warren Buffett gives Bill Gates millions of dollars
Elon Musk father married his step-daughter and have children with her (keep the money in the family).
Jeff Bezos gave Dolly Parton $100 million dollars.
That's the way of the world. People marry UP.

I thought to myself.. if I was him I'd be more careful. He's being used.
If he was not rich would they date him still?

Here is what I said
"If you're rich you might get the girls. But what kind of girls?"
Only somebody like you can twist that into some meaning of underaged.
I didn't imply that at all. But your dark mind went there ofcourse.
Was it the word girls that you reacted on?
And the Motley Crew video didn't help your understanding
of what kind of girls I'm talking about, hmmm?
I know women 50+ who refer to themselves as girl instead of woman,
on occasion.
No, I will not chanye my language for you.
You can rather try and uderstand what was meant,
instead of trying to squize it into some fake me2 format that was never intended.
Oh, and for the record I could just as well had said woman.
Then it would be:
"If you're rich you might get the women. But what kind of women?"
Right - but is that just as explanatory? Maybe maybe not.
I liked the girls variante best. And so did motley crew.
What a f-ed up accusation you pointed towards me Jac!
When all I said was some females flock to wealthy men,
and many of tham are attractive young females too.
Moreoften called girls than women.
I'd be most happy if you don't reply.
Cos I might go ballistic on you.
Females flock...?
What are we in your mind? Children, property, or sheep?
We may admire one person more than another on a qualitative level, but none of us is more than one person, or more than another.

The haves and the have-nots, the rich and the poor, the upper class and the lower class, the superior and the inferior (aka sub-ordinate, lesser, pleb, etc.) are terms and phrases that categorize persons according to wealth and status, and have always affected how individuals perceived themselves.
The best way to avoid being negatively affected by such labels is to know one's true worth, outside of the dictates of other 'men', because, regardless of how well-meaning they may be (or not), "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he".
