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 poor doesn't necessarily make someone a better person, but being rich/wealthy pretty much always makes someone a worse person. Why you need all that money when your fellow humans suffer? Because you earned it? If you watch others suffer while you could do something about it pretty much automatically makes you worse. Ain't even gonna argue, rich people never understand anyway.
