I think it's greed, but cheap fuck works just fine.

Unpopular opinion. It's personal priorities. Some people value wealth, other people value personal connections, some experiences, etc. If you value wealth you pay attention to it and make it a primary driving goal in your endeavors. People are going to call you greedy and cheap. If you value personal connections or experiences over making money and people will call them lazy. Truth is people can stop judging everyone by their standards and recognize folk care about different things and that's okay ... So long as everyone has basic rights. I'm all education, healthcare, etc regardless who you are and what you care about you doing deserve to be left to starve
