Boring question #86: How wealthy do you have to be to not bother bending over to pick up abandoned pennies?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:My great uncle is incredibly rich. He owns a company that makes artificial hearts, one that makes exercise equipment and a couple other that I forget what they do. He will still bend over and pick up change. I asked him why he did this before and he just kinda laughed to me and said “because literally every penny counts. Think about it, if I take two seconds to just pick up change whenever I see it, it adds up, it may not come out to be much in the end but its more than I would have had otherwise so why not pick it up?” He was also very poor growing up so I believe this also influences it, he actually understands the value of money unlike some other rich people who grew up rich.
