40. Good point, he would throw Grandma under the bus in a second.

I agree, the poor are more generous and good hearted.

I worked as a therapist in various settings over the course of a 40 year career.
Early on, I worked in poor areas in rough neighborhoods. Later on I worked in
more affluent areas.

The poor clients were more kind and generous. Sometimes my car would not start,
I was just a new therapist paying off school loans and getting started. The clients
would always rush to help me. And at the holidays they would bring me a small
inexpensive gift, they had taken pains to buy or make. We are not supposed to take gifts,
but inexpensive heartfelt homemade gifts cannot be turned away.

I cannot say the affluent people would do the same.
