>> For all of my life, I've known people who are very visibly wealthy. However, I was fortunate enough to learn early to hold wealth in mild disgust and also not make a big deal about it. I encourage you to develop this sort of attitude.
The OP is not wealthy enough to develop that attitude. I think that is what wealthy people forget, money does indeed solve many problems.
Being poor introduces a number of problems, and if you are not actively there, you quickly forget what it is like. That's okay.
I believe that an economic class system exists for a reason. It is easy to interact with people one above or one below your class. Beyond that it becomes more difficult, and requires more energy. It is up to individuals to decide how they want to spend that energy. And the less money someone has, the more energy it takes to do things, and vice versa.
- vanusa 5y agoBeing poor introduces a number of problems. Among them being perpetually under (palpable, physical) stress, and pretty much always living under heavy cloud of self-doubt. And not just about why you haven't been promoted at FAANG yet, why you haven't gotten some insane payout like certain friends of yours, etc.
- klipt 5y ago> Being poor > haven't been promoted at FAANG yet Is anyone at FAANG really poor, even if they haven't been promoted yet?

- DarylZero 5y agoYou misread that, they were saying that poor people have self-doubts about more serious matters than that.
