Life is much simpler being a regular middle class kid living with your parents than an adult millionaire everyone knows and expects money from. He never knew what actually being broke and responsible for yourself or a family as an adult was.
Even if it’s not about other people expecting money, people adjust their lifestyle to their money, even when it causes them to be 10 times as busy as a result. Suddenly you’re managing your house cleaner, your cook, you have contractors at your house every week, you decide you need more things, that all need maintenance, you’re constantly managing people. One day you look at that and think, why do I always have so much on my plate when I’m so rich.
If people simplified their lives at the same time they became rich, they would be much happier, imo.
Exactly this. When he was 'broke ’ he was just a kid and couldn’t by a Lambo because he was bored. Now he has an amount of money that requires responsibility, so much so that professionals are required to handle it. Sooo stressful.
He doesn’t know what Broke is. Honestly, most people that say they are don’t.
I doubt he’s ever had to pass on brunch so he wouldn’t have to worry about his check to the gas company bouncing.
Never had to pawn his stereo to cover rent so his girlfriend wouldn’t finally kick him out.
Never had to calculate whether the bus fare to and from the plasma clinic was actually worth the trip for a donation.

I consider not having “going to bed on an empty stomach” for dinner as a success
