About the rich

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Rich Boy, 1926


Yes, they have more money.
Ernst Hemmingway, Snows of Kilimanjaro, 1936

And they can choose their problems.

    Don't the rich also have more problems? Like having leeches who pretend to be friends? ;P
    But yeah, being rich does solve a lot of problems.
