That's a very materialistic and superficial way to get people close to you, and being close to someone solely for what they can buy them is a huge red flag. A lot of people with money (or even people who just make more than some of their friends) often need to be careful about discussing finances, since there are many people out there who have no qualms about using someone for their money.
Here's the thing about getting people close by buying them things: what if one day you end up in a terrible financial situation and can no longer do that? Anyone who is only close to you for what you can offer them financially or what gifts you can give to them will be out the door immediately, and was never close to you in the first place.
IIN that I think "Money can't buy happiness" is bullshit?

Money can be used to help Family and friends get closer to you. Such as if you buy them presents on their birthday.
