I have become aware that I tend to worry about not having enough money in the future, and that this fear has been with me all of my life.
Less affluent people have that same fear, the difference being that "in the future" can mean next year, next month, or even tomorrow.
While wealthy people may worry that they won't be able to keep up their lifestyle forever, they know that they will still be able to buy food and shelter (and medical care) even if they lose nearly all of their wealth.
