Comment on When if ever did "Throw Money at The Problem:" actually work? Instead of being about 75 percent useless?

  Rich people problems are stuff that can’t be solved with money

  • how do I fix my inter personal relationships? (Treating others more nicely and talking to others as equals, usually)
  • how do I become more interesting? (Don’t talk about money or fame so much)
  • how do I get my subjects to forget my heinous crimes (sorry Mr President, no dice on that one)

  Or problems we can have too, but they need some thought to solve. When you’re used to throwing money at problems you make others solve your problems for you and stop thinking about them beyond surface level.

  E.g recurring plumbing problems or vehicle problems. Problems we cause for ourselves.

  Because their money already fixed all the kinds of problems you have. They have new problems now. They’re also exaggerating those problems.

    Weird, they tell me their biggest problem is they don’t have enough money.

    I don’t have that problem!

      Exactly. You need more money to have that problem.
      And like I said they’re exaggerating how much more money they need.

  That must be why they need so much more money than the rest of us.

    A few months ago I met someone who told me their returns on their portfolio only being 6% last year was a far tragedy problem than my mother’s death.
