You roll up to the gas'n'sip with a million dollars and you will become a target. But you roll up to Doral with a million dollars and no one will give a FUCK. Take your million dollars to Columbia or Venezuela and things are awesome... so long as nobody knows you have it. I know a girl whose first husband was kidnapped twice in Mexico City. For like $10k ransom. I know a guy who spent $10k on a muffler. - “A man's satisfaction with his salary depends on whether he makes more than his wife's sister's husband.” - H. L. Mencken
People discount the fact that we tend to roll in cohorts. It's unlikely that you'll be vastly more successful than your friends; what tends to happen is we self-select for our level of achievement as we age. Robert Caro said "power doesn't corrupt, it reveals." I think the same could be said about money. It's certainly a lot easier to be magnanimous and generous when you have enough; I think that's one of the reasons Trump won. All the people who used to be generous can't be anymore.
