Wealth insulates you from society. You can not complain about my life or talk about their problems to anyone but the circle closest friends. Otherwise, you just count insolent jerk. People less wealth is very difficult to sympathize with you, because they believe that the money gives everything. This is not true.

With money comes a lot of problems. Lack of motivation to work, repeated requests to borrow money from the suddenly appeared friends and relatives, jealousy and taxes - all this puts not the most pleasant imprint on life. If you have kids, then you have to also think about how to motivate them to do something, instead of just wasting your money.

Do not rejoice that you will have a lot of free time. Idleness quickly get bored, and those of friends will have to forget, because almost all of them work a regular job from 9 to 17 hours. Money makes you lonely, and this was for me the biggest surprise and disappointment.

His small fortune I gained, putting money in the bank. By my standards, $ 4 million - is not so much, but among the people in my circle I have the most money. Here are a few tips that I can give a man who has suddenly become rich:

1. Do not tell anyone about your money. In his previous work, I accidentally spilled the beans about their savings. The people I knew for years and thought were friends have changed. The conversations were light envy and sarcastic comments about me and my money. Over time, nothing has changed, despite the fact that I no longer talk about it. Moving to a new job, I have not said a word about money and only too happy to do so.
2. Material things do not bring pleasure. Superklishe, but I could not help but mention it. Probably, it is difficult to understand, as long as you will not pass through the wealth itself. I bought a car and expensive toys, and they bring pleasure only the first time. Then you realize that this is just unprofitable investments.
3. I have not gone to work. I'm still working in the IT-company and live on the salary. Accumulated the money, I decided to leave for retirement or unexpected situation.

I earned a lot of money by selling IT-startups, when I was about 20 years old. And that's what I understood: to be rich is better than not to be rich, but not nearly as good as you think.

Firstly, you can no longer complain. Others will think that with money you've reached Nirvana and is no longer experiencing any problems, which, of course, not the case. Secondly, all of you will have something you need. And it is very difficult to know whether you like the person or is it a matter of money. And finally, friends and family. Perhaps your relationship will remain the same, but most likely, they will change.

Do you think that as soon as get rich, your life will be better. And here you are getting rich, but life does not change. Such an outcome can cause severe depression or life crisis. If you are not happy in average incomes, it will not be happy and being rich.

conclusion

The biggest problem of rich people is isolation. Still, we pay too much attention to money and knowingly put them in first place in its list of values. Everything is relative, and if you now want to buy a BMW, then when you can afford it, you immediately want to Bentley. And so it will go on forever.
