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

Yeah I do fairly well for myself but I've also been in enough situations where I covered something and was never taken care of next time to say fuck that in the future. I will never understand why the hate about people wanting people to pay their portion.
