By this time people have suffered a lot. Faced economic hardships. I used to make friends regardless of their socioeconomic background but the ones who were poor, always made me feel as if they are poor because of people like me. I am rich. They could justify every worse thing they did to me, just because they thought I had it easy and they had to struggle much. I never got to understand how these guys can justify scamming me. Couple of them screwed me over lots of money and made my life hell but nvm I recovered and still thriving.

You met shitty poor people. Being poor doesn't make you screw people over, but if you're rich, you may not have notice or appreciated how your wealth was interacting with these people. Great example was in the show Friends. There was this episode when Febie? and Joey were broke as f--k and they got all bent out a joint having to be in situations with the others where they were spending more money than they could afford just to keep up appearances. And then they got even more hurt because of then the others pivoted to pity and charity. Anyway, you're still thriving to it's all a wash in the end.

  I've have helped lots of people and I am a firm believer of "If you can help, you must". Heck, my wife was also poor but she is the best person I've ever met. She is the only one who can set millions of dollars on fire for me. But over the time, my inability to act indifferent to people's struggle has burned me over a countless number of times. Examples include places where I gave out few hundred thousands in help and got scammed out of millions. These days I am living under the rock so that I do not see others' struggle and jump there to help.

    "my wife was also poor but she is the best person I've ever met" You still make it sound like you see it as some black mark against someone. I doubt you meant to come off that way, but you really did. Imagine if I said: "Xstartup is (gay,black,jew), but is a really great person" Sounds bad huh?
