Usage of because and why

I know well about the difference between 'That's because...'and 'That's why...' but I was wondering if there is a situation the two words because and why are interchangeable for the same meaning? The two words are related to this word reason so I feel like in some case they mean the same or something. What do you think?

Thank you so much as usual for your help and time. Have a good day.

Hans51'That's because...'and 'That's why...'
Speaking of two events that are connected as cause and effect, the former introduces the cause and the latter introduces the effect.

Situation: Jack has very little income (cause), so he doesn't spend a lot of money (effect).

1. Jack doesn't spend much money, does he? / No. That
