Is it true?...poor people are easier to please than the rich ones :

I would say that the urban poor are pleased differently than the rich folks. The urban poor makes anything fun but the rich makes fun of them.

I can tell you about poor people as I am one who is poor. Here is a little on my life. Married in 2002. Have given birth to three one girl and two boys. Daughter and second son where taken from me when daughter was 13 months and my son 2 months. They lived with grandparents (my now Ex-In-Laws) who have custody of them. Last boy born eight years later in 1999. He was put up for adoption. Divorced March 1st 2002. Every since the Divorce I have been in and out of temp jobs trying to survive. Moved to small efficiency apart month after Divorce. In 2003 Got laid off from job. Met a man two months before laid off. After laid off had to move in with him for a while. Got another job in 2004 through a temp agency. Got a place of my own again. Three months later, hired on perminatly. Three months later I was let go from job due to a gal in my department hitting me. She got fired. Well, I again struggled for five months looking for a new job. Going to agencies like Catholic Charities to find help with my rent, electric and get food. Met another man who took me in, in July of 2005. Had to leave all my stuff behind furniture, kitchen items etc... Just took pictures and my clothes as he lived in a mobile home. Two weeks later he asked me to marry him. I really loved him and said yes. A week later he took me to my Ex-In-Laws to spend the weekend with my kids on a Friday night in August of 2005. The next night being a Saturday night, my kids, and Ex-Mother when out to get pizza. when we came back, there where boxes in the garage. He packed my stuff, left at my Ex-In-Laws and would not answer his phone to me. Never talked to him again. Had no place to go. Stayed at Ex-In-Laws for nine months, looking for work everyday and no one would hire me. I have a hearing disability. Met a man in October of 2005. He is amazing. In April of 2006 I still being unemployed had to move out as my Ex-Mother said they where struggling to feed everyone. They where at that time. My guy friend took me in. He has a home but he also had another old two bedroom home he used for his counseling practice and said I could stay there. I been in and out of Temp jobs and found a telemarketing job in 2008. Worked there from January 2008 till laid off October 2008. Had to find another place to live as my guy friend sold his house office to be torn down for a business that came in next door and needed some of his lot. I moved in to Government Subsidized Housing and got on Food Stamps. When I moved in November 1, 2008, All I had with me where boxes of clothes, one TV that my Ex-Mother didn't want and a rocking chair. No bed, no table, no couch, no dishes, nothing else. My guy friend paid my rent for me and still does. I still have no job. Still on Food Stamps and have no car. Four days after moving in, my guy friend found a house three blocks away that had a lawn full of furniture. The man is an ex Pastor and people give him items to give to people who are in need of them badly. They where in okay condition but I got a couch, TV stand, end table, coffee table, small book case and a lamp out of it. My guy friend had gotten me an air mattress my first night here. Three months later, the Secretary at my church asked if I needed a bed. When saying yes! She replied, "you now have one. My son is moving to CO and needs to get rid of it. It's a full size." Oh, and I got some dishes my guy friend did not need anymore as he had to many. So, my being poor, struggling most of my life on no money, I am easier to please. Poor people as myself are happier in life. Poor people like me are greatfull just to have a roof over our heads, food to eat, clothes on our backs and God in our lives. Can't ask for much more. Rich people have it all. Therefore they don't know how to be happy. They expect much, much more. Poor people don't expect much more. One day my kids and I went to get fast food with Ex-Mom. They saw a guy on the street that looked hungry. We got him water, burger and fries. Drove to the corner he was at, gave it to him and he told us we were his angels for that day. We had us pray over the meal with him and then told us, "God bless you all kindly." We talk a few minutes and he said that he could never go home. This is his home. He is the happiest ever on the streets as he is surrounded by God's love and that was all he needed in life. So, Yes. Poor people are easier to please. God bless us all.

Hello my bonita i guess not all poor and not all rich people easier to be pleased. But I would rather believe mostly it falls to poor people. It's obvious practically if you would offer or give something in kind they (poor) would easily happy. That's common in our society. You can't expect that mostly on rich people because obviously they have all what they needed (materially). Though it depends on what kind of favor or something that their money can't buy. (am sure you know what I mean..lol..) How about you bonita, how would you analyze your self? Me? I am a kind of person that could easily be pleased especially if someone like would give me a sample of your perfumes... It's JOKE time!!!!! I miss you friend. Mobhomeir here..

It all depends on the personality of the person. I have never tried to please someone based on their status. But i feel that that the rich ones need to be pleased and not the poor. the poor ones are the ones who please the rich.

I think poor people are generally easier to please as they have fewer things so even the smallest thing makes them happy whereas rich people have everything/almost everything so it is very difficult to find something that will please them.

Well poor people expect less but it really depends on personality. If you have a mental disorder maybe you're a little manic and your happiness is unattainable.

hi jane. it's been a while. and i am 5 days late on this discussion of yours. you see, i have been very busy the past days with zayzay. i have some thoughts about this topic anyway. i believe that even if the poor are easier to please, they also change while their lives change. just like a working person. they changes with the way they spend their money. their need more as the time goes by. when they reach the higher position, needs become much more, and even the debts are getting bigger. i am not sure if i have a clear thoughts here. i am still blanked with the present situation. by the way, have you been getting notifications of new discussions of your friends?

I would think so , first of all it is their economic condition that makes them vulnerable and secondly having not much resources their needs are simple so they are satisfied with little.That is my practical experience with those who are economically backward. there may be a few with self dignity and be egoistic in receiving help, but such cases are rare.If treated well they are easy to please...

maybe the poor feel content easily.if the poor get something they look forward to,they will be feel happy.and also the attitude is so important for the poor

the commodities or aristocracies has no limit so rich peoples always try to chase it but never reach it which makes them unhappy but poor peoples are habituated with less commodities and have satisfaction. thanks didi.

Majority of poor people are easier to please than the rich ones. It has been my experience. Well then, it also depends upon the personality of the individual.

Hi jaiho2009, I think there are people who are poor that can be very difficult to please as well as some wealthy people whom you can't please. I really do think it is the heart of the person. There are many kind and generous people who has wealth and they wouldn't be unkind to anyone on purpose. Then, you have some people who are not wealth with the worse attitude you could possible never want to have anything to do with. They are very disrespectful with no manners and would never care if they are wrong, they want what they want and nothing else matters. I have seen some of them in the stores arguing with the clerk or cashier. Giving them the hardest time about much of nothing. It really doesn't depend on the person's character.

I don't really feel that financial status determines pleasability. I believe that those who are rich in spirit are the easiest to please and they are also the ones who find it easiest to please others, no matter their lot in life.

Not really. It depends on the person. You may be a perfectionist while being rich and while being poor also.

hi Didi, It is a very situational question. A person whether rich or poor won't matter for that reason. I have met many affluent people because of the nature of my job and have been with the not so "well-to-do" persons. Sometimes, they ( the poors) could be very hard to be pleased no matter how much you try and exert to make them happy. I am saying this with real life situations as examples. Then there are the elites, the Riches, the affluents who could be very demanding and ostentatious. It would be equally difficult to please them it seems as if they are demanding another "Taj mahal" out of me. Then there are real compassionate people who couldn't be confided with the classification of being rich or poor. So what I am trying to say is it entirely depends from person to person and also it depends a lot on you, too. If you are the kind of a person who wants to make everybody happy around you, then there comes a time when people would keep complaining cause they know if they groan and make false moans you would be to their rescue and aid. Cheers Didi
