Probably a WW-2 generational thing with our dads. We had a large family and no extra money laying around, but somehow we managed to stay fed and healthy. My dad knew we were blessed with more than riches and with seafood or small game two blocks east or south and a large vegetable garden, we didn't miss any meals. The expression about the rich people was just a play on words with a little Louisiana sarcasm mixed in...My Father said the same exact thing. It doesn't translate well, here in germany. Whenever I say it, people look at me like I have a third eye in the middle of my forehead. Still make good sense to me!!
