"It's their personality's fault that they're poor, but they're not at fault for their personality", maybe?

Im sure their degree in 17th century southern french literature will save them from poverty 

lol dude I do the exact same thing. I always put on a slightly chavy accent and use more slang with some people. I swear a lot anyway so that doesn't change, only not in front of my mum.

But my ipod's screen is scratched.

I know what you mean, it's pretty annoying isn't it? I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but am fairly intelligent...and I hate dumbing myself down to talk to people.

First you have to define poor, there's many people with a higher intelligence that are worse of then someone who lives an expensive life style. For me it mainly comes down to environment rather than social class regardless of someone social status each have their own select groups. It's easy to dub rich people as snobs but saying that there's quite as many middle class people with the same attitude. So it;s probably more due to the people you attract rather then the social classes them self.
