I don't understand these situations.
My wife and I have been together for almost 20 years. In that time we always split our bills. Never shared income. We have one joint account which is explicitly for the purpose of medical emergency and no other purchases. Do men really just...give their money away? To females? For what purpose?

I basically look like pic related and have zero problems attracting desiresble females. How you may ask? Because I wear a wedding ring. Seriously, go to your fancy bar with a wedding ring on and see what happens.
It also helps to not be a simping faggot. As gay as "Be yourself" sounds it's the only thing that works. Women have a 10million year evolutionary talent for sniffing out betas and the biggest tell is when you're behavior is in the Ucanny Valley of Simpdom.

My team has a 15 minute meeting with my boss once a week. We talk about fantasy football (I do autodraft so I'm not even working on that) and then we clock out for the weekend.

I used to feel guilty about my lifestyle, but I made a lot of sacrifices to get here. I can't call it luck because it didn't happen by accident. What can I say? I wake up every day feeling blessed.

Testing for real silver is an elementary school level of easy so I encourage you to do this and immediately get clapped for it. I will be buying your corpsemeat with real silver.

If you continue in this mentality you will fall into an inescapable black hole of despair and become an unlikable rich cunt. Listen: every ounce of food you have ever eaten, every milliliter of oxygen you have ever inhaled, every minor comfort you've ever enjoyed, was desperately needed by someone else somewhere else at some time. This whole "Oh woe is the world and I'm just a big fat money pig" mentality is fucking bullshit.

I'm not anywhere close to your level of rich. But a few years ago I visited a remote town in Africa and finally saw how most of the world lives: houses made of mud, farm animals shitting in the streets, everyone just poops into holes inside their houses, a local gangster runs everything. So yeah, compared to SOMEONE I am incredibly wealthy. But what would be the point of feeling guilty about having hot water and a house with electricity? It's just a shitty way of thinking.
