People discount the fact that we tend to roll in cohorts.  It's unlikely that you'll be vastly more successful than your friends; what tends to happen is we self-select for our level of achievement as we age.   Robert Caro said "power doesn't corrupt, it reveals."  I think the same could be said about money.  It's certainly a lot easier to be magnanimous and generous when you have enough; I think that's one of the reasons Trump won.  All the people who used to be generous can't be anymore.
