Four self-made millionaires share the subtle ways in which wealth strains relationships, and how financial success ultimately cost them friendships.

Still, millionaires aren’t devoid of relationship issues.

    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.

      This is how you can tell who would own slaves.

      They didn’t create the slave they are merely profits from the utility.

      These are the people religions have tried to reign in but to little avail. Some people are less human than others and it’s the people who behave like this.

        Woah now, let’s not pretend religions aren’t a man made system to control and pacify people in their own way.

        Religion isn’t trying to reign in particularly actively evil people out of the goodness of their creator’s hearts, it merely seeks to make them and the other masses meek and kept in line so they themselves can make the rules.
