buhhh I'm sorry I tried to make this short, but it's really complicated.

The worry can go away because it's not tied inherently to money but rather an individual's needs not being met. While that's a problem every individual will struggle with to varying degrees, I see the ultra-rich lifestyle as one of the most difficult to overcome in this sense and in this case, "Richie" here is worried about the security of their perceived source of power, in simplest terms.

It's not even the myriad of comforts one can afford that will continue to draw you away from the discomforts one must overcome for self-empowerment like "Richie's" trust issues and lack of knowledge/understanding of the systems they're working with. It's the isolation from new ideas.

If you are not exposing yourself to new things, you will be looping through your habits and rituals day after day because it's comfortable. You will heavily delay the knowledge on why that's bad and continue to loop. Even worse would be to come to this awareness by luck - and faaar too early, as you'd have no knowledge on what to do about it.

That's depression. It's terrible. No way for anyone to live. You're left blind feeling the walls until you find your way, and unfortunately that's an option with a perceived easier alternative... What do you even do..? Continue to wait for the universe to maybe drop an answer on your lap?

Yes. Not ideal and we can make alternatives collectively, but until then... yes.

How many other factors are working against Richie's resolution? Was their parents inadequately developed emotionally? In that case, did they misinterpret reality and then push their beliefs onto Richie? Does Richie have peers they can trust? Confidants to consult? Do they even know how to read? how to research? How to even utilize and learn from said research as to avoid the bias they may have picked up from their peers?

To reiterate, people get stuck in the logic of our society and money, but it's not a money issue as a poor individual will suffer the same situation in a different package - it's a perceived resource issue. Exploring the semantics of why that is would probably be a great starting point to actually understanding the issue, but I don't think I can do any of these ideas the justice they deserve. I implore you to continue exploring the idea. It's great to empower yourself and maybe help others along the way. :)
