Still, millionaires aren’t devoid of relationship issues. In some ways, they can experience wholly unique ones, because “the world is not very compassionate to that kind of trouble and pain,” Amanda Clayman, a financial therapist who hosts Fresh Produce Media’s Audible series “Emotional Investment,” told Business Insider.

    only because friends millionaires are to there to leech of them, and millionaire themselves are detached from actual frienships because of how they behave around money.

    Self-made millionaires tend to have a few distinct qualities. For one, their relationship with money can differ from that of their friends. They might focus more on long-term financial goals and be more stringent about saving.

    When Lane Kawaoka became a millionaire by buying rental properties, he realized his newfound wealth was making him feel lonely. Much of it had to do with differing mindsets.

    Ah yes, self-made. Generating money from the aether thru the purchase of real estate. Not hoarding housing and leeching off of the value created by others.

    In my experience, it’s because as part of becoming millionaires they also become obnoxious money-obsessed losers who are totally unenjoyable to talk to

      I’ve known only one person with money as a friend and the only reason they were tolerable was because they never brought it up. They were just very successful at what they did and made really good money doing it, but that was only a slice of the type of person they were.

        So he was still a worker, like the rest of us. I think that makes a pretty big difference.

        I had a friend that complained to me a few times about not feeling wealthy. This is someone with a household income 15X what I did.

        After that I couldn’t not judge all the money being carelessly spent in front of me.
