About This Quote
The poor and uneducated often stereotype the wealthy and intelligent as being greedy, miserly, and prideful. While money can sometimes bring pride, it’s not always a bad thing. Pride can help us to improve our own skills. For example, if you are practicing something new, you may feel confident in your ability to do it well if you know you have enough money to pay for extra help or take classes that will help you to become an expert.
You may be proud of your wealth if you are able to afford to give people the best chances possible at getting ahead in life by helping them get an education or providing them with a job. Pride can also lead you to do things that make life better for other people.
