It is not right to flaunt your wealth.   It is in fact highly insensitive to mention your accountant or driver in the company of ‘po’ people. It is a complete give-away to tell the world that you have an accountant.   It means that you have so much money you cannot ‘count’ it yourself.   People in the real world know their bank balance by heart, although that could be dangerous because the $20 you thought you had, could actually be $17.70, because banks charge rent for keeping your money.

Not dentists.   Can you imagine dentists opening their mouths wide, tapping teeth to find the bad ones?   How would they do it?   With two-way mirrors?   How about all those sharp instruments?   Can they use them without the help o
