Haven't you enough money?' For she knew that this is what is the matter with nearly everybody over twenty-five.

About This Quote

A lot of people think they are entitled to more money. They act like money is just something that comes with the job. To be fair, this is true for some people, but not for most. A lot of people fall into the trap of thinking they are entitled to more money because they think they deserve it.

A lot of people see friends who have more money than them and they start to think that their friend has earned it. If someone has money, they will often expect others to give them things in return. But, if you don't have any money, you can't expect someone to hand it over to you without asking for anything in return.
