This book explains why rich people sometimes lose their friends, by showing 10 simple reasons that happen in real life, like when someone gets a new toy and forgets about the old one.
Why Friends Change When You Get Richer
Imagine you have a best friend who loves to play with you at the park. One day, you get a big new toy, maybe a robot or a super-fast bike. Now you spend all your time playing with that new toy instead of your friend. That’s what happens sometimes when people become millionaires, they start doing cool things like traveling to faraway places or buying fancy cars, and their friends might feel left out.
The 10 Reasons Are Like 10 Different Playground Games
Each reason is like a different game you play with your friend. One day, you’re playing tag; another day, you're building a castle with blocks. Each time, something changes, maybe you get busier or you start hanging out with new friends who also have big toys.
Sometimes, people forget that their old friends are still there, just like how you might not remember your favorite snack if you try a new one every day. That’s why millionaires can lose their friends, it's not because they're mean, but because life gets busy and exciting!
