Still, millionaires aren't devoid of relationship issues.

I’ve known only one person with money as a friend and the only reason they were tolerable was because they never brought it up. They were just very successful at what they did and made really good money doing it, but that was only a slice of the type of person they were.

    That could be anything from a high paying profession to owning a business.

    It is likely more that the struggles of people with wealth are going to sound like pitiful willing to the struggles of people without wealth. To maintain the friendships across economic classes, wealth isn't discussed.
