I figure it this way....I only treat people as well as they treat me or as I expected to be treated in return, if they treat me rudely then they get treated the same way, if they treat me kindly then I return the kindness.
It really has nothing at all to do with the amount of money they do or don't posess because the last thing I do is ask what their wallet looks like. Anyone can dress up in what looks like a very expensive suit or have nice clothes in their closet and still be broke as a joke.
You have to give respect to get respect....its just that simple sometimes.
