'You won't be getting a $3.62 Venmo from me': Twitter users examine levels of generosity in different income brackets

Stingy people are a pet peeve of mine. I'm not saying that everybody should stumble through life merrily giving up their life savings to any freeloader that comes along, but sometimes buying small things for friends and family is a nice thing to do! I hate owing money, but I hate miserliness more.

Perhaps part of the reason is because I'm a long way off from being a part of the 1%. It's a well-worn stereotype that a lot of people who are rich stay that way because they are reluctant to let go of their money, especially when it comes to hanging out. 

This is something that was discussed on Twitter recently, with many bemoaning the likes of the $3 Venmo request from individuals that earned six-figure salaries. There is a difference between not being taken advantage of and being so annoying about money that nobody wants to be around you anyway.
