115.5 and free falling. Keep coping.

Even early on in the show, the one time she got Yui a "special deal" on her guitar purchase, it was never outright charity. She worked alongside Yui and was going to help her buy it through their work together (Yui, of course, refused this, too). But then Mugi managed to "barter" her way down to the amount Yui had. It is played off like this was simply Mugi's ignorance of the concept of bartering working out in her favor, but Mugi is a smart girl and she likely understands that the real reason she was able to get the price so low was because of her status (we, the audience understand this aswell, perhaps the other band members do, too, although maybe Yui really did think Mugichan is just that great at negotiating). Be that as it may, Mugi never once held this above Yui's head. She never once said something to the effect of, "I'm the reason you got your guitar so cheap, so be greatful, Yui." No. Mugi maintains humility throughout the whole show. Another little aspect we can mention is how Mugi does understand and value the idea of hard work (likely instilled in her by her industrious parents). Mugi does not need to work a day in her life, yet we see her maintaining a job even when there isn't a need for one due to club reasons. It's clear that Mugi values experiences above materal wealth, and this brings us to the final topic of conversation. Why Mugichan is like this.
To put it simply, Mugichan understands that wealth does not inherently bring happiness, but that relationships do. We can make an inference that she had something of a lonely childhood. Mio and Ritsu had eachother, Yui had Ui and Nodoka, but we are not shown any glimpses of Mugi's childhood. It's possible that due to her upbringing, she did not have many opportunities for friendships. Perhaps it was the rigorous studies her parents placed her on, or maybe she learned hard lessons about flaunting your wealth for others and ending up as a tool instead of a friend.
