    I live a very basic life and don’t flaunt my wealth, BaggieAl and Des will attest to this having seen how scruffy I am.

    I find it difficult spending money on myself with everyday stuff like clothes and I don’t wear a watch or jewellery.

    I’d put Al in the same bracket as myself albeit he lives on millionaires row! ��

    I really hate the likes of Bernie Ecclestone’s daughters, neither have done a days work in their lives yet can buy a £70m house and ram their wealth grown peoples throats.

    I can’t be doing with gold plated taps and ridiculously lavish spending on trinkets.

    John Caldwell who owned Phones4U is one who conflicts me.

    He came from nothing and built a billionaire status so fair play to him but seeing him fit out his £70m home in a TV programme, the over the top demands and spending was real “God Complex” and “Diva” behaviour.

    I really respect mega rich and wealthy people who are humble.

    I take the biggest compliment from friends I’ve had since comprehensive school who say I’m the same as I was back then and that I’m as down to Earth as I was when I had nothing.

    I had very little for the first 37-40 years of my life so that probably helps.

    I agree your a scruffy f ucker In all seriousness hating someone who is loaded is pathetic!!! I would never ever be envious of anyone! Good luck to someone who is loaded.

    What I hate though is people like Sunak's wife who escapes taxation through her Non Dom status. I don't have a problem they have several luxury multi million pound properties but I do have a problem that she escapes inheritance tax etc etc which anyone pays over the 325 thousand threshold. Sunak for an intelligent guy is quite thick - scrap her Non Dom status and donate a few million to food banks as well as paying tax on past earnings. People's perception of Sunak then could change!!! No chance this will happen. Trump who is a horrible piece of work at least donated his salary as President. Will Sunak? No chance as greed is within the blood and people like this ilk would sell their own family to get richer.

    My own daughter has listed certain furniture items and even a trampoline free of charge to anyone who needs these items ( Xmas etc ) because being kind and thinking of the less fortunate is a precious gift.

    There are rich people who are kind but most people who are generous and give to charities are the have not's category for sure. Ask a tradesman where he will gets lots of teas and bacon sandwiches - it will be those lovely people in modest homes where many in mansions won't even let the chaps use their loo let alone make them a cuppa!

    So for me - I detest the Sunak's and totally out of touch with those who are struggling and they are more intent on making even more millions for their coffers!

    I have personally seen more people who are not loaded with happy marriages and happy lives as opposed to many who are loaded whose life motivation is greed and one of the couple is s hagging around!

    PS - most don’t have an issue with people like Grant earning around 25 to 30K a week! They do though when c unts like him take the complete p iss and don’t even break a sweat or show any desire!!!! Do you think he would really care if West Brom were relegated?
