And, i find it distasteful when coworkers are trying to make business clients out of me. I don't want to buy your candles, go to your chef parties or buy any baskets. I also don't want to buy your kids stuff either. And, I don't want to buy your shakes, vitamins, etc.
One question, if you "get it" and doing so well, then why are you still working with people who don't? Why haven't you used your tax skills to join HR Block on a temp basis and do some work on the side to pick up some extra bucks?
Your attitude and disdain toward them is apparent and they probably sense it as well. On the other hand, there are just people whom you don't like or care for and you don't have to. You only need to go to work and do your job and be respectful. And, they don't want your financial advice. Most people don't and it isn't your job to advise them on their finances.
Come on. There's always room for a crappy overpriced chocolate bar to support the local slot racing team. LOL
