That's quite a leap of logic you've made there. I don't agree with your assessment at all.

Mainly I'm tying it in with the also super-common plotline that Character gets money, Character turns into a GIANT JERK, alienates all their friends, gets themselves in a huge amount of trouble. And then by the end of the episode Character has lost all the money and realizes the only way to truly be happy is to be poor and have friends.

Fry in Futurama, the Simpsons multiple times, Ah Real Monsters... I can think of a ton of examples that are basically "If you become rich, you'll become evil. Money is power, power corrupts, stay poor if you want to stay a good person."

Lol, Kill la Kill that exact thing with Mako and her family.

Danny Phantom did this in Livin' Large. A lot of the fanbase likes to pretend that episode never happened. It was terrible, OOC, and just a mess.

...Most lottery winners end up like this. Money goes to people's heads. They do go off the rails. People who grew up wealthy tend to be borderline sociopaths at worst, inconsiderate assholes at best. The people who aren't like this are a rare exception.

To be fair, that whole concept started with the whole "all you need is love" ideology, which also goes back further than The Beatles. Not always a wrong plotline, but still overused in poor fashion.
