They always assumed he did not have a job, but he had to get money from somewhere because he always had fancy clothes.

That was a running joke on the show.  They never actually said whether or not he did work.

These people are usually thinking about themselves only. They like to spend money, but only for what they want. If they ever buy a present for anyone, out of obligation, they will get the cheapest thing they can find.

He is just jealous.  You are actually working, not just being given money by your parents.  Your getting real working experience making what is pretty normal pay.  Tell him to either be happy for you or to get lost.

It cud be that the businessman was bound on a long trip to a foreign land , and , wanted to place something of his, of high value, in safe hands back home. So he decides to pledge that thing for a measly loan amount in the bank, effectively reducing the rent he needs to pay a caretaker for looking after the object.

Nope, never had that happen. Poor people tend to stay poor. Rich people tend to be stingy!

It's only the old conception that those well dresses older people have the money and will purchase the most expensive items! The shop keepers were told to go where the money is! It's not you, they do that to everyone, except me! I look like a bum because I recently lost a front tooth in a car accident and I like to wear big, long comfortable dresses and have my hair twisted up in a ponytail, so I guess I look sorta like a bum, but when I am ignored, I don't like it and I make my self noticed! Example: I might stand there and say something real loud like: HELLO? are you in there? Then I might turn to a customer and ask: Can you see me? And when they say yes, I say real loud: THANK GOD, I THOUGHT I WAS INVISIBLE!!!!!! Don't just take it, make your self known!!! It works!! You are just as important as everyone else!

I would tend to beleive there are secret societies like you hypothisize. I know there are 'clubs' that only extremely wealthy rebublicans can join. It seems to me that those are very dangerous people when they get together to decide how they will exploit us little people and make themselves even wealthier. W sure acts like he belongs to a club like that. He has no respect whatsoever for the middleclass or the poor.

No, because the situation was out of your control. Just buy him something when you can. I'm guessing he doesn't expect anything in return.
