The good in bad economy

In my 59 years of recent existence, I have noticed that people who are broke tend to be nicer and less stuck up.

I think a person has time for human interaction and appreciation once they are rid of thier material possessions, as those excess material possessions will own you, versus what one may percieve as owning their material possessions.

I have witnessed friends, clients, colleagues and acquaintances go from what they perceived as being rich to being broke. And you know what? They tend to be nicer and less stuck up once they are broke.

So, maybe a bad economy is actually good (to some extent.)
