Money provides comfort but not happiness. The feeling of genuine joy is separate from financial stability, as many successful people find themselves comfortable yet unhappy, missing the carefree simplicity they had before wealth.

• Wealthy people often struggle with anxiety and depression despite their financial success
• Keeping money requires strategic planning - only a percentage of income should go toward lifestyle purchases
• As you climb the financial ladder, your social circle naturally shrinks, creating isolation
• The fear of losing wealth creates significant mental strain for successful people
• Self-made individuals face double stress without family support systems behind them
• True happiness comes from appreciating simple pleasures regardless of your financial status
• Middle-class thinking often leads to over-consumption that can't be sustained long-term
