Won’t somebody think of the rich?!
View other people as numbers, view the world as a zero sum game, screw over your peers because they would do the same to you, yeah that seems like it would be isolating.
Yeah, preying on the worker class does sound like it could make you isolated.
While wealth can bring with it some unconventional problems — such as being denied an invite-only Ferrari and accidentally destroying swathes of coral reefs with a 300-foot yacht — most other problems that the rich face may not be as esoteric as we think.
Yeah maybe such inequality shouldn’t exist, where someone can spend unfathomable amounts of money on bullshit toys, while others don’t have the bare minimum to live. Don’t accumulate this kind of wealth and you solve both problems at once.
“Wealth can be pretty isolating … sometimes all eyes are on you to see what you do with your money,” she said, noting that some clients face the pressure of how they hope to be remembered, and where the money should go — whether it be investments, philanthropy, or legacy building.
Yeah another psychopathic take, “I have to be remembered as a good person!”, how about you just make sure to DO good, who fucking cares how you’ll be remembered once you DON’T EXIST ANYMORE?
I mean, nobody’s making you behave like a rich person. Grab a modest house in suburbia, send your kids to public school, and maybe take a few extra vacations a year to nice places but don’t talk about it. Guess what? Now you fit in with the rest of us.
But that’s not what this is about, and they certainly have the option to not be perceived as rich. The rich want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to have all the wealth yet be treated like normal people when it suits them while also being treated like they’re rich the rest of the time.
Boo fucking hoo.
