6. Some lose the ability to make friends, because they are taught to be suspicious of others

The flip side of having money is that many of the people they interact with are only wanting money. These days there’s a givers/takers meme (probably spread by some political strategist) that’s quite common in their vocabulary now. The whole logic is that anyone less wealthy than you is after your money, and if someone less wealthy than you tries to pick up the tab once in a while or give you a gift, then they are poor because they are wasteful.
I live in a well off area and the repair bills, vet bills, haircuts are all twice as expensive.i don’t mean at fancier places, either. It reinforces suspicions that they are always being ripped off.
