People on Boards who judge other people

Well, we all like some recognition in some form or another for one thing or another. Sometimes it's a form of reassurance, and sometimes it's because we're feeling good about ourselves. I know a lot of people who tell me about their children and take great pride in them, I don't judge them for telling me about them (even if I'm bored). I'll tell anyone who listens (IRL) about a project I did last year, because I'm so proud of it, and myself.

I think you can consider yourself financially successful if you're happy with your finances, it's a personal thing. Someone from a hugely deprived background might find the salary of a middle manager to be incredibly comfortable, but a person from a very wealthy background would feel poor by comparison, so I don't think it's fair, or accurate, to tell Eddy that he's not financially successful as it's so subjective.

As for begrudgery, I think it was probably more prevalent in the past which is what I was getting at in a previous post, and I'm sure it still exists now but it's not a universal thing. Perhaps it's more noticeable in small country communities than big cities. Both experiences are equally valid.
