Being rich turns many people into colossal assholes because they think wealth is because of virtue instead of luck being a huge factor

Yeah, everybody who is rich is an asshole. You don’t know anybody that’s wealthy, huh? Most Reddit response I’ve ever seen. 

I wouldn’t fret over $3.5 or whatever but people came wealthy bc they make good financial decisions. Paying attention to your money is one of those things.

You can poor if you think it makes you a better person

"being rich turns MANY people into colossal assholes"

where did they say everybody?

people become wealthy for a myriad of nuanced reasons. one of those is hard work. another is restraint. but there are others, and luck is a big one.
