I have customers that come in and I try to show them something and they'll pat their pockets and have a speech bubble with a simolean sign with a red x through it.  Apparently some are more affluent than others.  The first time that happened, my sim took a major relationship hit because of it.  I thought, 'Geez!  Why on earth be upset at someone because they can't afford the whatzit?'  Later on she didn't do that, though.
Well, who doesn't hate poor people? Frikken bums.
