Yeah, there’s a reason it’s always the new rich you hear about having these troubles. They weren’t taught how to deal with this, and had spent a lot of time defining themselves off their work. They just aren’t prepared for picking up three hobbies and a few social groups.

And I think there’s selection bias here too. I’m never going to be new money. I’m too dedicated to my wife, community, and hobbies to dedicate my life to the pursuit of financial gain. And if I had that kind of money and time I’d be investing both into them. There’s always something you can help out with
