In a completely unsurprising story out of Manhattan, NY, the words “money isn’t everything” were just spoken at brunch by someone who, conveniently, has lots of it.

Yeah, no. If I could afford to have someone come clean my house, mow my lawn, buy a new car every few years, fly first class to places I want to visit/take vacations, have good health insurance that isn't tied to employment I would be happy as shit. I constantly have to worry about silly shit because I can't afford not to. It creates a lot of stress as I'm missing out on other things. It's taking a huge toll on my overall health.

Personally, I never cared about such silly shit and didn't worry, which created a lot of stress because I didn't deal with the actual problems. I was living below the poverty line and a drunk at the time. I think worrying or drinking doesn't improve anything.
