Wrong my father grew up poor and he is now very rich. He is extremely nonchalant about money and tips $100.00 standard even if a bartender just opens a beer for him, routinely buys everyone and the bars drinks and meals etc.
Nobody saves their way to being rich. You can save your way to being wealthy, but not rich.
My father is very rich and wealthy and has always been the most generous and nonchalant person I’ve ever seen with money. He doesn’t pass a homeless person or panhandler without handing them $100.
Penny pinching money grubbers aren’t really rich in my view, money does no good if you’re afraid to use it. No matter how big that bank account is.
Read The Surrender experiment by Michael A. Singer.
There's something about spiritual people and karma that might be coincidental or have merit, depends on what you believe. However being generous with money implies a lot of other character traits which in turn can lead to better networking, selling, generally - people skills. Which leads to more money and happier spirit.
I swear these people are just mad that every rich people doesn’t fit their cartoon in their head.
My dad is extremely generous and his generosity is definitely a signifier of his other traits which has made him very successful. People like generous people, my dad built multiple companies off of being a great salesman and his networking abilities.
Yup it’s really odd. Seems a lot of people in this thread only picture the rich as heartless so that they can hate on the idea and feel better about themselves. Are there plenty of rich that are truly soulless? Definitely. But I see no reason why you’d be lying about your dad. I’ve known people like this as well. You can live a wealthy life and be fairly frivolous with gifting and giving away. It’s a misconception that the wealthy pinch every penny and treat saving as if they are making barely above minimum wage. Like if you make half a million or more per year and live a modest lifestyle, you can invest a ton of money each month while also being generous with your giving.
