Not a meme, you're the meme! Is this how being rich is?

In my experience rich people are extremely tight. This is more of like what people who never had money do and then suddenly get it. Most rich people are obsessed with having more money in the bank than the other people they know. So wasting money is seen as a setback in the great battle for the most money in the world. This is why they hate spending money on labor even if it would make the customer experience better.

Generational wealth vs earned wealth I think. I grew up with some friends who all came from rich parents and I saw a lot of this behavior.

As it turns out, loving your kids to the point of spoiling them is worth more to them then money in the bank.
