Croweater is apparently (I mean it is the internet where people do lie) a well to do person, or the vast majority of you here think so. Calling him a success would be a little premature, the guy went to uni and got a job. Pretty much like a large percentage of people here and would earn the same amount as a lot of posters here too. Success can also be judged in more ways than just financially. Case in point, my brother works for himself (sparky) in a small coastal town, has a small house that overlooks the beach and lives a simple life. Gets to spend heaps of time with his little boy and wife. No stress, and is healthier for it.
I shared the same upbringing as my brother, parents worked hard, we always had food on the table and it was good. Money was tight but we never went without things that we needed. Didn't roll around in designer clothes or shoes and didn't holiday anywhere we couldn't drive to. Now I'm caught up in the rat race, have several business interest (outside my primary job) and am working on another that will probably become my primary income. People may see what I have as being more successful than my brother but I don't see that at all, I am working towards being able to end up in the position he is but need to make myself a "success" first in order to do that.
People are jealous in a way of how you post mate, you do make mention of brands a lot and the accompanying price tags. If people ask, you answer which is what people do, and there's nothing wrong with that. You've only ever experienced the life of the middle-upper class so it's no surprise that people that have only experienced middle-lower upbringings get a little annoyed when you're complaining about not being able to afford a 1.4 million dollar first home. You talking about such problems around your friends wouldn't raise an eyebrow, around here it is seen as boasting. It would be beneficial to yourself and others to maybe be more inquisitive about the logic behind some of your posts and not just attack them (guilty myself). e.g. Asking, aren't you embarrassed that your mum brought you an umbrella to work because you got wet? and you replying without taking it as a personal dig.
It's the internet, this is a forum and the vast majority of people seem to be respectful when treated with respect. That being said if anyone posts something so ludicrous it's beyond belief, I shall be lining up to virtually embarrass them.
tl:dr Lighten up Crowy and others try to understand the man behind the (Ray Ban) glasses before "cyber-bullying".
