"If I could buy the furniture now hired for me," said I, "and one or two other little things, I should be quite at home there" (ch24,197)
In this quote it seems as thought Pip is starting to behave like a man who has luxuries unlike when he was living with Mr and Mrs Joe. Asking money from Mr. Jagger is basically proving that now Pip is looking down on the people who didn't have much money. Even when he himself was once in that lower class of people. Connecting this, as he grows up in London, he begins to think that Joe is a shame compared to people that were on a more higher class level than them.
During Pip's stay in London he sheds the innocence of his naive past, becoming greedy and lazy. In stage one, Pip wouldn't ask for money at all, even if he did he wouldn't get any either way. But, there was one time when Pip was getting a fitting for his new set of clothes, he spent quite a lot of money on the clothes. The amount of money that he use to spend made a big jump when he started to get ready for the trip to London. As Pip's so called " becoming a gentleman" time goes on, I think that he will spend more and more money on things that he usually wouldn't spend on. Also, his personality would get more and more on the side which the reader will hate this character called "Pip".
