You guys didn't even need Chuck Woolery.
Spinx, I'm not sure how to answer. I'm sure your dilemma happens all the time, but it's got to create friction and frustration. You know what they say, the No. 1 reason people break up is money. Anyway, I suppose it depends on how much you like the guy.

Reason: Never answered Spinxy's question...
I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt until you said he is obnoxious about it. Then yes, he is a snob. Often people like this are very self-centered and will drive away any relationship unless that person is snob-like too.
So if you are not into material things as much, or being around an obnoxious man makes you cringe, then no it will not last. You will grow tired of his antics.
I don't think someone is a snob because they like nice things...it's when they are rude, obnoxious and put other's down that I have a problem with.
Here's what I think is so hysterical about some of you guys.
Snobbery is the desire to feel superior to someone else based on the material possessions of that other person. It is the impulse to think to oneself, "I am better than that other person because they have ________ while I have ____________."
If you guys would stop congratulating yourself long enough to actually gain some self-awareness, you would realize that you're guilty of precisely that behavior in yourself. You're saying, "Wow, X enjoys [Eating at nice restaurants/Driving a Lexus/Wearing nice clothes], so that makes him/her a snob. I'm glad I'm not that person. Because of my far simpler tastes, I am a better person."
Of course, it never occurs to you, in that circumstance, that not only are you a snob yourself, but you're quite the hypocrite to boot. Because you are using shallow and material yardsticks with which to judge others in a lame attempt to elevate yourself in the process. Pretty damned funny when you think about it.
A snob isnt about your tastes or money you spend its having a sense of entitlement or thinking you're better then somebody..
In fact people who call people snobs because they like expensive clothes and not just jeans and a t shirt are "snobs"
Exactly. I've found people who sling around the term in those situations are actually deeply insecure people who need to label others in order to feel good about themselves.

Yup..Dont get me wrong theres obviously people out there who spend money and look down on others who dont but its not the majority and somebdy who likes nice things shouldnt automtically be branded a snob..
If he judges people by how expensive their clothes are and how fancy their cars are, than hell yes, he is a snob. A shallow snob.
Is this the case?
Haha...yeah he is a snob, but I think maybe with good reason. Maybe he came from nothing and wants the better things in life. Plus it seems he wants the best for you.
