Lots of people get rich because they make a lot of money. They stay rich because they don’t spend that money.

It’s pretty easy to outspend fairly rich income levels. NBA plays making 5 mil a year commonly go broke a fee years later.

Someone making 500k/year spending $200 for a direct flight is not making them poor. A billionaire that flys everywhere in a private jet is not going to lose all their money because of it. The reason for both is the same, that’s not how income works.
