Well I've known some really selfish sociopathic people who are wealthy.

But I've also known some incredibly decent, intelligent, giving, loving, kind-hearted people who are wealthy.

it is relatively impossible for a fundamentally good person to protect extreme wealth without relinquishing much of what makes them a fundamentally good person

Well I have a friend right now she said she has never had trouble with money her whole life, money has always come to her, it's always available, it's always abundant, she's not materialistic, she doesn't buy anything she doesn't need and she doesn't really want anything either, she works very hard because that's what she would be doing anyway but she has never been lacking for money and although she is tough and wise and doesn't take shit from anyone, she shares her home and all her food and she leaves her keys in her car ( it's a small town), anyone can drive her car, and she opens her home to anyone and everyone who she feels strongly about and she shares all of her things and she buys things for people. She is wealthy but not greedy at all. Her money just keeps multiplying just like the love and joy she gives to people. It's rather amazing to see such a person in this day and age.

So you're saying I can have a free car...

Believe it or not apparently there are still some small towns where people know everybody and trust everybody and they all keep their keys in their cars and they keep their cars unlocked. So if you can find one of these towns (I'm not telling you where I live), yes you could steal a car. But anyone who wants to pull a trick like this better be prepared to deal with the legal consequences of their crime after the honeymoon period has worn off.
