Irony I'm in my fencing uniform, and I walk to a vending machine, I'm short 10 cents, so I ask the nearest bystander if he has a dime. The guy replies "No, I don't" "no problem, thanks anyway" he shoots off "why the **** do you need a dime anyway? You're a fencer, so you're rich, right?"
I wanted to shoot him then and there. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moment, lost in time. Gone, like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die" -Phil Ken Sebben

Don't you mean stab him?
You can't fault people for their own ignorance. After all, 80% of the people on the planet are dumb as rocks.
You can however blame him for his atitude which is inappropriate regardless of knowledge. Perhaps you could have replied in a measured tone:
"And you're ignorant and rude, so you must have no one that loves you, right?" Fencing T-shirts available at Off-The-Piste Wear **New designs** including f.net themed designs for easy recognition of fellow f.netters at tournaments!

Ha ha. See, the point is that we're not rich, because we went and spent all our money on fencing gear!

Is there even money in fencing at all as a sport?? - I don't like small birds. They hop around so merrily outside my window, looking so innocent. but I know that secretly, they're watching my every move and plotting to beat me over the head with a large steel pipe and take my shoe

Yes. If you're really good. Or really clever and cunning, perhaps. Or like betting.

Yes, just insert the adjective really: Really good at it, Really clever and cunning, Really good at betting.

No no. The problem here is that the kid asked a total stranger for money. The stranger just said that out of annoyance to embarrass him. Nobody is rich or poor over a dime.
The value system these days just isn't the same as before. Before if you didn't have enough money for a soda you just went without. You don't ask/beg strangers for money, you don't make people feel sorry for you and you show people that you are in a rut. you handle it with some class and dignity.
If some kid came up to me and ask me for money I would refuse too out of principle.
All the folks that have replied so far seem not to understand.

correct answer: "i WAS rich. then i started fencing..."

correct answer #2: oh...well, then, can you make change for a hundred?

correct answer #3: "the problem is that i'm rich AND thirsty"
