Reply #178: That is my take on the matter also. [View All]

HAving taken care of the disabled and elderly for almsot twenty years, often the people I worked for were wealthy.

If someone was self-made, in terms of their wealth, and they were of the Generation that had gone through the Depresion and WWII, I usually didn't find them obnoxious. They wanted certain things done, they had standards that they felt needed to be met, but they were not picky.

The worst were elderly women who had never worked a day in their life, but married someone rich. They wanted me to spend hours doing senseless things - making sure the knick knacks were arranged within one eighth of an inch of each other.

On the other end of the spectrum were people who had come into money but loved their day job so much they still had worked at it. One music teacher I cared for was like this - she loved her students and didn't retire until her Alzheimer's forced her to.
