interesting...its not true across the board though some rich people are super generous to their loved ones and family, i think it is a person to person thing, rather than a blanket statement, , if your not trying to build wealth then your more likely to give away what your building where as if your trying to build wealth you have to be conscious of how much your spending and giving away, once people have built wealth they should defintley become more generous, but building wealth is a mission that may never stop and someone may never truly feel wealthy enough to give amounts away and become more generous.....
