How do you treat those people who have the parameter of money?
Yes I have seen many people who only follow and respect only those people whom they think are earning good.
In my view we can find many in our society who does not work for money but not respected due to not earning money, But the world is still be trustworthy due to these kind of people only. What are your views about this.

What does it say about the character of those people who only follow people they perceive as having lots of money ?
If the so called rich person lost thier money what would happen to the followers ?
Personally speaking if I had a lot of money and people started hanging around me then I would very quickly give those people the proverbial boot up the - insert own phrase - because they would not be true friends
They would only want to know me for what they thought I could give them not whi I was
A true friend is a friend because they like you , not what you've got
I worked with a person who won our national lottery about 20 years ago - $1 million = and that happened to him
He had to change his phone number , got a post office box and as much as he could hide his ability to be contacted

I've found that in my life, whether or not a person has money doesn't make any kind of a difference to me. If it was something that was really important to me, then I wouldn't be married to the man that I'm married to now and I also wouldn't be friends with the people that I'm friends with because none of them have money.
I've found in my life that people that have money are trying to buy something from you and there is never any real kind of a relationship.

I treat them as I would anyone else, if they are humble despite their money, then I feel like they are approachable. If they are egotistical because of their money, then I obviously am going to keep a distance from them. There are a lot of people with money out there and much like people who do not have the money, they have a wide variety of attitudes.
Although when you make money, you'll have all kinds of new friends. Not because of who you are, but what you have. There are always going to be people out there, with a hand out, ready to take any little bit of money that they can manage. It is just a part of life, sad as it is to admit it. Of course, those people do adopt a bit of a superior attitude, the people with money, perhaps as a defense mechanism or perhaps they don't know.
