So I had a conversation with a millionaire.

I was walking down to the store from my apartment and as i gear closer to the storefront, there’s this Mercedes parked out front, I proceed to hold the door of the store open for the people exiting and entering, before I enter my self.

I was stopped by one of the bystanders exiting the store, he thanked me for holding the door and asked me “do small gestures of kindness satisfy you?”

I replied “no, I was just raised to be a gentleman, you know hold the door, be polite to pregnant women give them your seat, etc etc”

His final response to me was “don’t ever settle for what you aren't worth.”

I’m sitting here confused because it happened so quickly, am I missing something here?

There were 11,000,000 millionaires in the USA as of 2017, so chances are pretty good you know one or will run into one. There is a BIG difference between being worth a million dollars and having an income of a million.

Pretty sure the Benz wasn’t a loaner, I know one when I see one.

@Dateless Leased? Some people just NEED to show off. And just because you drive a fancy car or live in a big house doesn't mean either is actually paid for. ;)

Idk I pay for everything cash, my first car I paid cash, my second car I paid cash, I pay cash for everything I don’t take shortcuts I don’t use credit or debit cards, I use nothing but cash.@ChipmunkErnie

@Dateless Good idea. I use credit cards but pay them off in full every month. Been doing that for over 50 years. Generally, if I can't afford it, I don't buy it. Only things I've bought "on time" is one car and my house.

I just don’t trust banks @ChipmunkErnie
