The Rich

Unfortunately none of the above, it's usually in this order:

1st - The Matriarch (the Mother figure that raised everyone)
2nd - The Patriarch (the Father figure that provided for everyone and supported the Matriarch)
3rd - And the richest in the family

Please note that respect is earned, it doesn't come by virtue of age or title. People generally respect u if they hope u can help them in one way or the other. Otherwise it's simply a lip service. If u wanna earn the respect of ur siblings, family members, & youth in ur community (even female friends), u must somehow make them believe u've something they need, and very generously give them something occasionally.

It's difficult for a poor person to command respect, except the person is poor in finances but rich in spirit like Mother Theresa. In that case, a poor person with good values, strong principles, and love for humanity (rich in spirit) will still earn people's respect.

"Good name is better than wealth". Please forget about empty Titles, they get u lip service & not real respect!

Just my 10 kobo!

Why are people so weird these days, their reasoning is so twisted.

I'm sure the op has no idea what he or she did wrong., what a pity.

As for me I think an army is the most respected person in a family whether poor or rich.

Everyone is respected!
Even the gateman!

We were taught to respect people, NOT PROFESSIONS!!!!
