Does wealth solve all problems?
An article by one Joshua Brown, the CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management had some thought-provoking insights about wealth, that I’m paraphrasing below:
Money magnifies small problems into big ones.
Wealth reveals your true nature—anxiety, generosity, or arrogance.
Relationships can strain as wealth changes your social dynamics.
Even your closest circle may envy you, despite your good intentions.
True joy often comes from simple, mundane activities, not material indulgences.
Wealth isn’t a magic cure—it brings challenges and clarity. So the suggestion would be to strive for balance and awareness, not just riches.
