"Always remember to buy lunch for people who are richer than you" I have spotted a conflict of interest here.

  Not to mention his ultimate paradox of spending money on others when you are poor and spend money on yourself when you are rich.

    Apart from the impracticality of this advice, I found it strangely misanthropic. Essentially: "be generous now so you can afford to be even more selfish later".

    That is actually excellent advice.

  I think it is good advice. He says to do it twice per month, not everyday. It sounds dumb in those words, but the concept is good. This can be as simple as saying ``lets get coffee'' and you buy the other person the coffee. It is a friendly thing to do and people like that. People don't forget when you do small things for them, like this.

  In that same paragraph, I find it amusing calling those people "friends" when you are actually creating a connection with them simply because you want to extract value from it...
