Can Having a Lot of Money Make People Stressed?

[Suba]

If we observe the lives of the wealthy and high-ranking officials around us, we might at first glance assume they are happy. However, many wealthy individuals are unhappy, especially if they don't manage their finances wisely. They engage in excessive spending, like to flaunt their luxuries on social media, fear losing money or becoming poor, and even find that the amount of money they have is never enough, leading to workaholism.

One of human nature's traits is greed. Once we have a lot of money and become wealthy, we become increasingly busy, constantly striving to fulfill our ever-increasing luxury needs. Increasing incomes can't always cover our needs. This can lead to insomnia, stress, and other mental health issues, which can even lead to physical health problems.

Having a lot of money can often lead to more stress. You stress yourself on how to make more money, you stress yourself on how to protect yourself from others who might want to steal from you and so on.

Agree. Having a lot of money can be stressful. You tend to think of how to make more money all the time, you worry about people who try to scam you. You worry about if friends are nice to you because of your money or there is a genuine relationship.
