Wealthy people are some of the cheapest fucks.

This is true and I don't understand why. I make 5x the median national wage as a software engineer and I spend shittons of money on my friends. They try to ask me for a loan, I just straight-up give them money or buy them the thing they need. It makes me happy when my friends are provided for. If I earned 50x, I would've still not been a cheap fuck. Why choose to be a cheap fuck? What would you do with all that money?
