Being Rich vs. Being Poor

Much has been made of the divide between the rich and the poor. The differences between being rich and being poor are sometimes small but also easily noticeable.

Being Rich:
Rich people throw excess food away in the form of not saving leftovers.

Being Poor:
Poor people often times would be happy with the borderline expired leftovers from the above mentioned rich people.

Being Rich:
One of the greatest forms of excess I can think of is running your home's central air conditioning when there are windows open in your home.

Being Poor:
Poor people would be happy to stand outside the open window of a rich person's home to catch a breath of that cooled air during a sweltering heatwave.

Being Rich:
Rich people often time have clothes in their closets with the tags still firmly attached.

Being Poor:
Poor people often times can't remember the last time they purchased an article of clothing that had tags attached to it because "new to me" is just fine.
