With my brother for certain.

We came from a lower middle class family. Food stamps, assistance, mainly due to my medical issues when I was very young along with my mother's refusal to work. She had that attitude that it was the husband's duty to earn while the woman should stay home....but that's a whole different bag of worms.

But now that my brother is fairly well off hes the type that likes to flaunt it. Everything has to be a show and a proof that he "made" it. Cars, golf memberships, big home on a golf course, season ticket holder for multiple pro teams, etc, etc.

I'm not jealous of him at all...other than he never went to a class in his life beyond 12th grade and I spent 6 years in college...lol...he earned it, but please dont act better than others.
