Worries of a rich man

To an average middle class individual it seems like having an enormous amount of money can solve all their problems forever but often this is not how reality functions. But it’s true: Being rich isn’t all wine and roses. Lazy kids, needy friends, constant lawsuit threats and other concerns plague wealthy people on the regular. 

It has been rightly said that poor people have less money so they have less problems while wealthy people often have a shitload of things to worry about. Along with wealth comes the mental tension and various other problems. It’s certainly not a cakewalk. Being wealthy can have a downside for your kids. Such kids often termed as being with a silver spoon, have a sense of entitlement, prevent them from developing a strong sense of empathy and compassion. 

It’s not like the rich don’t worry about money at all in fact they do it more so in comparison to the poor. The greed or lust for money is never fulfilled because most people think having more money will make them less afraid, make them feel safe and secure.

Money is a symbol. It is a tool. Your hammer can’t drive the nail in by itself. Money is the business part of your life. Your money didn’t make its own decisions. Your tools can’t control you. You control your tools. Own your actions and teach your grandchildren to do the same. We made up the fear story around money… now is your chance to rewrite the story. You don’t want them to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, the way many of us do… worrying about money. In order to maintain a healthy relationship with money you have to come to grips with that part of your money life and legacy. Heal that part that has fears, or doubts, big or small.
