@lothcat It's odd how very rich people seem often to be thinking about money all the time, and worrying about it, and having to step out of things to deal with it., and having opinions on it. It seems weirdly like being poor.

I think there must be a sweet-spot somewhere. Being rich should mean not having to think about money because you've enough.

@chiffchaff @lothcat very rich people don’t think about money all the time; that’s a thing that happens to people who are rich but desperately want to become very rich.

The very rich literally hire people to worry about money for them. It’s very strange to watch.

I once suddenly felt the strong presence of a person who was not concerned with money at all. It startled me, and I looked up and saw a man, too far away to make out his face. I let myself explore the feeling as he walked closer because it was a complete novelty to me. There were concerns, but money was not involved. It was such an experience, to suddenly feel how much money worries are part of my daily life. We were walking closer to each other. Weirdly, he had noticed me, too. So there was the money freedom, and the awareness of each other, which both felt so unexpected. It turned out to be Paul McCartney. As we met, he said, "yes love, it is me."

I held onto that feeling of not being afraid of not having enough money for as long as I could.
