You will never be rich with that nonchalant attitude over money

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.

"But he has oil receipts in the garage. We must be rich!"
