Hi Alux, Millionares lose friends due to their high standards and accomplishments. However the benefit go going up is that you will make better connections that you can assist you. Keep up the exceptional work

[@asahuman165]

Due to different mindset

[@4lugan]

Because they Start to envy the New Millionaire.

[@b-rare]

I took a break from my friends so I could hyper focus on my success. That was almost 4 years ago now. I could never picture going back to be honest. Too much changes. You become a totally Different person, that’s why you change friends. You’ll have different interests for the most part. Example, millionaires aren’t getting hammered every weekend and partying. We’re working on the weekends lol. That’s a big reason you’ll lose friends. Most friends are party friends I found.

[@jonesameal1798]

When I was living in a compound house (in Africa), I did not even like to have my curtains unveiled or opened for people to see what's within my room (rented).

With that said keep everyone solidly in the acquaintance zone and expect people to come and go in your life. Keep your personal life private and stay out of other people's personal lives while still enjoying their company.

We had a freeze in the Houston area in February of 2021 and a lot of pipes busted on my rental properties. People were getting angry at me since I was able to get plumbing parts, when they were not able to. I used an airfreight company to ship the parts to me overnight and hired a buyer in a distant city. The parts cost me 10 times as much. People were telling me I should have waited in line like everybody else. My priority was to get my tenants back in there homes and paying rent. One house it took me a month to get all the plumbing parts, where other people had to wait several months. I didn't become a millionaire by waiting in line like everyone else!

[@dave5185]

The biggest factor I've seen in super-successful people is they are too consumed with accomplishing more that they can't sit still and just have a normal conversation. Their time is too valuable, or so they think, and they know they could be doing 10 other things or spending the same time talking to more important people or people who could be doing more for them. I've been very successful myself, but I stay grounded and talk to everyone from janitors to senior execs because I don't want to become the kind of person who has no patience for people and can't pay attention in conversations in which I'm not getting something in return.

I have a wealthy relative and I didn't ask for money but I asked for 10 minutes of their time for financial advice and that was more valuable than any gift they could have given me

[@bdflatlander]

The reason Millionaires lose friends is pretty obvious: when your new millionaire lifestyle is so vastly different than someone who lives paycheck-to-paycheck there is going to be a huge disconnect and probably some resentment on the part of the poorer friend - that’s just human nature to a certain extent. The best thing to do IMO if you are fortunate enough to be well off financially is to contribute generously to worthy charitable causes. I have always admired people who are wealthy who also try and help people who are less fortunate. And….the opposite is true: I have no respect for wealthy people who hoard their wealth and aren’t charitable.

[@kentharris7427]

True statement. My family gives to several charitable organizations, plus we volunteer our time. My wife and I started from scratch building wealth and we didn't forget where we came from. My first apartment was an efficiency at $150 per month and I made $6.50 per hour. I put $100 down and started investing $20 per month at a national investment company, and evetime I made more money I would invest more.

[@Sam60420]

Agreed, I will donate to make the world a better place for everyone

[@CryptoNChill]

Donating to charities is a strategy to reduce taxable income for those in the highest tax brackets, and is often a direct form of money laundering if the donor owns a stake in the charity itself. You're referring to virtue signaling, which helps to reduce resentment from the perspective of the poorer person as they perceive some form of potential indirect benefit and justification of the rich person's wealth. Famously wealthy people donate immensely to worthy causes, yet still face violent public backlash simply from being wealthy.

This is dishonest and should not be spread. This is the kind of thinking why a lot humans (people) cannot trust each other and only end up "using" one another. If you've dealt with children before, this is the clearest example of how false and misleading your statement is. Are children who are "friends" just using one another? There are people who are genuinely friends, and some of these children whose friendship started in their childhood days grow up into old age with it.

I am not a super wealthy, but when I started earning more than the average, afford more expensive cars, and luxury stuff, I started to realize why rich folks lose friends: 1) People will always come to you to borrow money, and you'll soon learn that only a fraction of them will pay. You'll start distancing yourself from people who keeps asking to borrow money. 2) People will think that you have an obligation to help them financially because you the one doing better. The problem is that you cannot help everyone and you should not, and people will hate you for that and distance themselves and start backstabbing you.

Recently had to block a best friend, mainly because of his infidelity, but I think infidelity stems from a larger problem: desire. He constantly desires that which with he does not have. More. More.

The Financial Samurai suggests living in stealth wealth mode which is a good strategy by why not enjoy the fruits of your labor? Not to flaunt, but spend what you make otherwise you wind up dying wealthy or worst your kids will squander it for you since they didn't work for it.

Surround yourself with people who will lift you higher. For anyone seeing this, I believe you can achieve your goals, all you have to do is to NEVER GIVE UP. Have a great day.

[@lancesay]

its part of human behavior's evolution... the answer is really simple; simply put, birds with the same features flock together or like minds think alike, etc... for example, its like joining a fraternity, why do you think all masons gravitate toward each other and the more with the same reason why former military or veterans get alone easier with their peers than non-veterans...

[@lokijordan]

People who get rich seem to take large -if calculated- risks. When they win, they want to celebrate, then plan the next big thing. Their poorer friends are usually too timid to catch up or keep up. Eventually the two drift apart.

[@henriquebarboza4003]

The problem is the conflict of interest, personal ambitions and goals that separates or make people close. Most of those friends think that they deserve some piece of the success, even not participating of the process, putting any effort in to. That's why eventually they get cutted of.

[@lorddarkrai5753]

Well the term friendship is the most misunderstood term nowadays.One will understand it if he sets it up on his mind with the respect it deserves.Friend is the one you know that he will come in your funeral and cry over your passing coffin no matter how you lived or what you did in your life.Same goes for you.That's how much of a deep thing friendship is , it's just not stated nowadays because everyone wants to be a millionaire bla bla bla too much work bla bla bla who's got time for friends and funerals?Millionaires are not perfect but the blame is not on themselves but on their surroundings.Being a millionaire that appreciates the little things in life like friends , going to the gym or for a walk or to the cafeteria with them , play some sports with them or something else is like the rarest thing nowadays.Then their ego is infuriated by other people working in the same company like them though being in labor or employee level do enjoy the little things in life and that unfortunately implants unhealthy and commonly toxic ideas and behaviors on millionaires' minds.That could also be due to the little child leftovers we always carry with us once we've reached adulthood.It's like we want the more money , therefore the more responsibilities we must take but simultaneously we want to have fun etc.Even though it's rare there are people with millionaire friends that are ok with it , have their family and their own money , do not rely financially on these millionaires' wallet and a good relationship remains from these people and continuously remains till death runs its course.In the end it's all about the people honestly.Friendship can never be achieved with isolation and that's on both millionaires and non millionaires.It's not being rich or being not rich , it's about being a douchebag or not or maube beind disrespectful or not , basically every sort of malignant behavior towards others.

A lot of these apply to my situation. I work WORK work WORK. People ask me why I work so hard...(because I want to be wealthy). I sometimes feel like I am in a bubble unaffected by the price of things. I've told people this sometimes I feel like I'm in a bubble (regarding the economy and job situation). I've acquired assets. Co workers tell me they think I'm rich (they might be on to something). I am alone a lot. I've traveled the world over alone. When I do meet someone new I have the same thoughts as do they like me or do they want money? I'm not a millionaire...yet, but I'm sure I will cross that threshold.

This raises an interesting question, if you end up working all the time and being alone is it really worth being rich?

[@bfun4615]

@@zimuzeng There's less drama and I am at peace with being alone. I do have a best friend. And acquaintances. When I have a comfortable retirement. I will relocate to an area near my family. Everyone's situation is unique.

[@slchance8839]

you and i have much in common. 1.I, too, feel a strange detachment from the financial stress of the people around me. i'm only just now starting to notice. One of my friends gets irked at our local gym for raising their monthly price. He brings it up too often. It's my gym, too, but i dont notice nor care about the price hike. I have to nod and act like i'm concerned. "Bubble" is the right word. 2.I have a few close friends that know I'm not poor, but they think we earn the same...which is fine by me. As far as being alone....someone in the comments above said it best "friends are one of the biggest disappointments in life." (and I'd add family) But i think there's something else there: when you dont NEED people, you can see them clearly for who they are in relation to you. That changes your viewpoint.

Seems the loss of friendships happen well before the Million. It is about the change in mindset that you have. If the friend has not yet obtained the information and or trying ; you just can't change what happens to those relationships.

This is true. It's a feeling like you left the Matrix, tell them how to do it too, but they're hating on you instead and continue living their lives blind.

@@milan51259 You can't tell them how to do it too. Their just not there yet. When we became ready, all the lights came on. Everything made since. It has to happen the same way for them.

[@beverlyj.grevious783]

Many friendships are superficial, macro with very little ethical depth of character. Basically bumping along. I've had friends who were or from the millionaire status. They are lowkey. Not flashy. Respectful and with good manners and intentions. They sought me out and together our friendships evolved. It turns out we were all raised with similar values. Never crude nor vulgar. Never drawing attention to oneself. Very comfortable with oneself and never talking of money.

I can personally empathize with everything from 1 through 9, but 10 - Guilt; no way. I'm sadden many of my closest friends aren't doing better financially but me feel guilty - Hell No. I remember living below my means, working long hours and studying my investment strategies. I'm proud of the promotions I gained and what I've done with my time and money and I'll let no one take my joy from me because they made different choices. Our tomorrow is determined by the choices we make each and every day.

If someone leaves your life because of your success they didn't belong there in the first place. Friendship is a luxury in itself not an obligation. And the world is full of like minds. Just like we can change our minds so shall we change our company. Millionaires need not cry over spilt milk they have farms of possibilities to fill their cup.
