In my experience, people who see classists and elitists behind every tree are universally, 100% of the time, suffering from extreme insecurities, chips on the shoulder, and/or low self esteem.
Free tip: The whole world is not discriminating against you based on your lack of cash. It's your attitude about your lack of cash and the behavior that you exhibit that sets them against you.
