    I am anxious about money, so instead of being anxious about lack of money, I would be anxious about having what I see as too much money.

      You know, that’s actually a valid concern, because just as excessive poverty tends to create many problems, so does excessive wealth. Just look at how many lottery winners end up just as poor as they started within a very short time period because they’re not used to having that much money. Also, there’s being worried about taxes, theft, or just plain jealousy from others.

      Money might be able to solve some of your problems, but it will never solve all of them.

        This is often said but I wonder if we only think that because nobody bothers reporting on people that don’t fuck it up
