Why Are People Afraid Of Getting Rich? Here Is Why (3 of 3)

More Likely To Experience Anxiety & Depression

Some say you can buy happiness once you’ve satisfied all your basic needs, but for many that’s false. In fact, looking at the behaviours of the wealthy, you’ll see something different. With everything that I’ve brought up, there is no doubt a lot of pressure placed on people and for many that pressure is too much. This pressure from a variety of sources can lead them into a state where they are depressed or anxious. It can get so bad that they need to spend more money on therapy just to keep themselves happy.

You Change

When people come into money, you’ll start to see a massive shift in personality. As I said above, many people begin to change their lifestyle and environment around and that does affect people on a massive level. The values that they had before have completely changed and when people do this it may not always be change for the better.

Being In The Public Eye

When you are rich, it becomes incredibly difficult for people to not know about you. If you make it big, chances are most people will know something about you. Whether it’s on a nation-wide scale or just the people around you at work and in town, that form of publicity can be a lot for people to handle.

Inheritance

When everything is all done, you’ve finally got inheritance. Once you pass on, who exactly is going to get your wealth? This may be a pretty easy task in some situations, but for others it can be a massive source of stress. There is of course all the legal lingo you need to understand, but if there are many people in your family, they may argue over who gets what. And those arguments can cause rifts in the family and cause issues during the process of setting up your will as well.

Make no mistakes, being rich does have its perks. And if you’re intelligent about it, you can avoid many of these issues. But it’s also important to know some of the problems and drawbacks to being wealthy as they are often overlooked when people are pursuing their wealth.
