More Money More Problems

Can somebody unpack this for me please. We all want money but nobody wants problems unless of course the problem is the money overflowing you don't know what to do with it 😇.

I found that having more money did not cause more problems. Being debt-free is a nice feeling.

@exexec Why do those who have it feel like it comes with problems?

@Hotchocolatezebra I really don't know. I hear them complain about higher taxes, but I tell them to look at how much they have after taxes.

@Hotchocolatezebra When you start out life being poor.... your biggest money problem is how to make more. You (might) think that more money will solve "all your problems."

But having money (in excess) creates its unique set of "problems". Once you experience the feeling of being "rich", you want to always continue to have those (that) feeling. So your "problem" becomes "How do I keep (aka continue to have) all this money."

@Threepio I"m sure that's true of a lot of rich folks.

@Threepio So true. You start having rich people problems. The biggest fear of a rich person is losing it all. That'll sure keep you up at night.
