He'd spent all his life grubbing money, and not only by fair means.
He sees this as a status symbol. By having money he proves his worth or so he believes
Scrooge (and Marley, when alive) was a money-lender, charging high rates of interest. He started with very little. From a sign on his building it said Importer of fine goods and china. So he was an importer and then got into money loaning. He probably partnered with Marley as an importer loaning money was less risky and with higher returns.

The central character in Charles Dickens' book is Ebenezer Scrooge.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a character in the Charles Dicken's novel A Christmas Carol, so he would be in a play of the same name.
Not in so many words.Te athors informs us that Tiny Tim LIVED and that Scrooge was like a second father to him.

The Business was sometimes called Scrooge & Scrooge or Scrooge,Scrooge & Marley but it was really called Scrooge & Marley. So Marley was his business partner.
Scrooge was surprised to find his bed curtains still on his bed in "A Christmas Carol" because he had expected the Ghost of Christmas Present to have taken them with him when they traveled through time and space.

The name "Scrooge" is a variation of an obscure English verb: "to scrouge" or "to scruze." The verb means "to squeeze" or "to press." Dickens chose the name "Scrooge" with this meaning in mind i so it met the description of the character in his A Christmas Carol
The Scrooge character - actually ( A Christmas Carol) but everybody calls it Scrooge (there are so many Christmas carols- actually the title tune is NOT identified but is probably either ( God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen) - as that is English, or Silent Night, Holy Night, which is ( congregational or popular- in a sense a Folk song with a Christmas bent- which it was. Tiny Tim does not, to my knowledge, die in the Scrooge story.
To show Scrooge images of his own past, the good and the not so good time he had and to make him see what he has to be grateful for
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come did not speak to Scrooge. All the other spirits observed by Scrooge during his "education" were unaware of his presence and did not interact with him on any way. This includes the rich ghosts throwing money to the poor woman, the characters in the party at Scrooges early employer etc. The Spirits and Ghosts which did speak to Scrooge were Marley, The Ghost of Christmas past and the Ghost of Christmas Present.
This refers to the visit to Scrooges boarding School along with the Ghost of Christmas Past. Here Scrooge remembers reading about Robinson Crusoe and Ali Barber and how he imagines them visiting him one Christmas because he was so lonely.
In the book "A Christmas Carol," Scrooge knew Fezziwig as his former employer. Fezziwig was a kind-hearted and generous man who treated his employees well, in stark contrast to Scrooge's own miserly ways in the present. Fezziwig's character serves as a reminder to Scrooge of the importance of compassion and human connection.
