WHy ARE MILLIONAIRES SOMETIMES THE CHEAPEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD?

I worked for one and he SUCKED EGGS. Didn't care about ME or My Family and was PARANOID AS HELL. Plus my husband works for RICH people and they TREAT him like a SERVANT. When are they gonna be COOL and STOP wanting the ones who work for them to do things like for GRATIS or to be GRATEFUL? I want things to be FAIR in LIFE....We all have to PAY the RENT and BUY FOOD for our FAMILIES. mad

I have worked for and personally known a number of millionaires, and I can say that a majority of them have been pretty decent all around. Sometimes, first and second generation millionaires can tend to have the "look at me, I succeeded so f*** everyone else" mentality that seems to have tainted your experiences. Old money people come from families that have worked for generations crafting relationships with people of all classes, so they tend to be much cooler.

I worked in (residential home) construction for a couple of years. I am from a lower middle class background. The people I worked with tended to come from poorer households and the people I worked for were oftentimes rich. Generally, I found the people with whom I worked to be far snottier than the people I worked for. Of course, that is just my experience.

I work for a millionaire, he is a very sucessful lawyer in town, and has been in business for 30 some odd years. He is very generous, with his family, with his close friends, loyal employees, and a wonderful donor to many local organizations from the hospitol that his children were born in to the local food bank. I am blessed to have him in my life, he has helped me in my world numerous times.

I've seen millionaire credit reports with bad credit lol .. cause they refuse to pay whatever debt they owe... saying they don't owe it lol .. and can pay the debt 100x over... some millionaires hold on tighter to a dollar than folks with no money

And they don't become millionaires by wasting money. Being cheap pays off!

From my experience what sucks most is that they take everything for granted, they tend to have moral issues, usually they are shit.
Prince I will always miss and love U.

Well sometimes it makes sense that Millionaires are sometimes the cheapest people in the world because they want to hold onto their almighty dollar, especially if they are "new money". I personally have not met any millionaires, well at least to my knowledge. But I do know the difference between rich people and wealthy people...the rich likes to spend, while the wealthy invests to keep their money growing.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

1. Your type STYLE reminds me of MY cousin who YELLS words that DON'T need EMPHASIS! That makes me cRazY!

2. They are cheap and that is why they are millionaires. Out of the three that I know, two still drive the normal everyday car, have modest homes, skimp on many things. The other one, well, she fell into her money and she has a limo, a private jet and will soon be going broke.

"Tight with money, tight with emotion". The two seem to go hand in hand.

And when people do not have alot they share.
As equality grows, violence declines.

Cause extreme love of money leads to greed and selfishness, so they may not necessarily be cheap, but they only want to spend on self.
On the other hand, (most times) the more money one has, the more they want and the more they spend, resultin in bad credit, debt etc.
Sometimes I say that if every wealthy person help one family with their needs, or let their money pull some strings, we may not have as much poverty in the world as we do now.
Poor people are generally emotionally healthier and happier than the wealthy cause the poor doesn't have to be paranoid about gettin stolen from or robbed etc and if u're already poor, u don't have to worry about losin money cause u already don't have. The wealthy have so much to worry about.
Some people might wish they were rich but u never know why u weren't blessed wit monetary riches, maybe it's for your own good. Just may have turned out to be a selfish greedy bastard lol
I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh
