It's so equal down here that I had "golf only" friends for 6 months and when we went to each others house, it turned out they must be worth 10 times more than me. I'm not jealous. But the truth is I couldn't afford their retirement home in another community and we would have never met. That would be a shame.

$13, what did you drink, water? The truth is you cant afford their house in the Villages either idiot. Your not jealous...and yet comparing what they have to what you have.

Why don't you tell us where is it that you can tell how much someone is worth by how they dress. Detroit? A lot of those people have $400 shoes, $200 jeans, $100 tshirt, a $150 Bluetooth device in their ear, and no job.

You are not equal, as you have noted in your comparisons above. Those guys most likely don't care that you are not equal, they don't feel everyone has to be equal.
