Honestly IME it's support others. I've found they're more likely to share and donate things than people who can afford to do way more

I said something like this in an earlier thread with a similar question. Someone responded to me that for the rich, everything is transactional. I think there's a lot of truth in that statement, and it's because the rich can afford to act like this. If you're not rich, you will have to depend on others to help you out at some times.

My favorite author agrees and so do I.

If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.

No joke, everything. When you're so rich every failure and mistake you make can have you fall, only to land on a practically infinite pile of money... No one says no to you, you take credit for the work of others. You get a higher education, but only get a degree after a lot of bribes. These things are what make the ultrarich, inhuman. Separation from consequences.

Not take things for granted. Actually appreciate things for more than their worth

This was basically the answer I came here to say. I immediately thought of all of the stories I've read about people throwing game controllers and punching TVs and it's fine because mommy and daddy will just buy new shit for them. If I did that sort of shit with my second hand Mega Drive then I would've kissed good bye to any childhood gaming.

Same goes for these parents that will smash up their child's computer as punishment or something. Absolute spoilt fucking brats with no appreciation for the things their money buys, raising the next generation of spoilt brats.

Depends on how one defines “rich.” For me, it means someone whose passive income exceeds their spending. A person like that might only have a net worth of a million or two - and they probably had to be pretty disciplined with budgeting to get there. But not only that, they also need to stay good with it to avoid living beyond their means.

EDIT: I actually disagree with my own definition now. What I was describing more accurately fits someone who’s either wealthy or financially secure, whereas rich tends to describe someone with high spending - which, unlike being wealthy, may or may not be sustainable in the long run.

When poor people have money they tend to spend it. When rich people have money they tend to save it. Poor people tend to be better for the economy than rich people. Trickle down economics hasn’t worked. It’s time to try trickle up economics!
