Recently, I've begun to think this way:
"The more we earn, the more likely we are to complain about lack of time because we equate our high earnings with a sense of entitlement to more leisure and feel resentful that time cannot be stretched."

While it may seem like rich people have more friends due to their social status and connections, there is no clear evidence that this is universally true. Some studies have shown that wealthy individuals tend to have larger social networks, but the quality of their friendships may not necessarily be better than those of non-wealthy individuals.
There are a few reasons why people may believe that rich people have more friends. One is the idea that wealth and social status can bring about more opportunities for socializing and meeting new people. Additionally, media and popular culture often portray the wealthy as having lavish lifestyles and constantly surrounded by friends, creating a perception that they have more friends than others.
This is a difficult question to answer definitively, as it is difficult to measure the authenticity of someone's friendships. However, research suggests that individuals with higher incomes tend to have more superficial relationships and fewer close, deep friendships. This could be due to a lack of time and focus on wealth and success, leading to less meaningful connections with others.
Being popular and having many friends are not necessarily the same thing. While wealthy individuals may have more social connections and be seen as "popular" in some circles, this does not necessarily mean they have genuine friendships or are well-liked by everyone. Popularity is subjective and can vary greatly depending on factors such as social status, personality, and individual preferences.
While wealthy individuals may have more opportunities to socialize and meet new people, genuine friendships cannot be bought with money. True friendships are built on trust, mutual respect, and shared experiences, not material possessions or wealth. In fact, some research suggests that flaunting wealth can actually deter people from wanting to be friends with someone, as it can create feelings of envy and resentment.
