But I only really go on holidays when my mom offers to take me, and if I feel up to going on one.

I don't own much of value (although I do have an ebook reader, laptop and ipod and a few hundred books) so I guess it's a lot more than a large percentage of the people in the world. I tend not to spend much each week and yep I can go to the cinema as often as I like because I pay for a monthly membership.

Also if I really wanted something I could ask my mom and she'd get it for me.

So yea I don't think of myself as poor, but also I'm far from rich, I don't have great material wealth or a large income each week.

My mum and dad are well off and I'm fortunate to have a really well paid job.

I'm just rolling in the cash tbh

[Ninastar]

when my grandad dies I'll be set for life nearly

id rather him not die tho

[Mrluvaluva]

Neither really. I don't generally want anything, as I think I have most things. I don't need the newest thing every week. I am happy with what I have. I would like a smart TV, but I do not need it. I have a TV, stereo, phone, food, clothes, games console blah blah, so I suppose I consider myself pretty well off, even though I do not have a huge amount of ready cash. I have been at both ends of the scale, but I have always made the best of what I have. Status does not interest me. I don't need to keep up with the Jones's.

[the truth]

Ive always driven a broken down crap car to ward off the types of social climbing snobs who judge people by superficial drivel like what type of car they drive. it gives me a cheap thrill to honk my horn and humiliate one of these materialistic mooks. ive never worn designer anything, no sunbeds, no tatooes and no high heels either

[Benjamin]

Oh, thought this was a private poll. My family have quite a lot of money, I myself am not rich though. I have a well paid job and I pretty much do everything I want in life and get the things I want, but that is more through hard work and saving then anything else. I actually hate coming from a 'rich' family, most of my family are quite snooty and stuck-up when it comes to social class and money.

We're not ric, far from it in fact, but we have a roof over our heads, food in the cupboards and we're all healthy, the kids are getting an education, we go on holidays, have a decent car and live in a decent area so we're actually some of the wealthiest people in the world

[Ammi]

...awww, that's a lovely thing to say Lee....and very true...

..yeah me too..the only thing is, who is Ric..?..I'm not him either and I wouldn't want to be, I'd rather be Lee and her lovely life....

[Lee.]

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't say no to a nice wee lottery win, living mortgage free for ever and maybe a nice wee holiday home in Italy, but in general I'm not one to moan about what i havent got, I prefer to be thankful for what we do have.

haha, yes I'd be a wonderful millionaire

If any of you pikeys ever set foot on my estate, then I'll release the hounds.

[Ammi]

..we're taking over that estate..get used to it JHC..the times they are a changin...

[King Gizzard]

use to be quite well off for money when before my parents split, my parents didn't have massive jobs but my dad saved like crazy, tight bastard, lived in a massive house as a kid, but suppose I just get by now

I don't think so Ammi. Laws are set up to protect people like me, from people like you.

Not having a go at the OP here, but I find the topic a little distasteful. Nobody remembers possessions when people die. We only remember deeds.
