Having no problems — creates a lot of problems.

Money is the new black. There are so many of us who believe money is the solution to our problems. Money can solve some but it can also create new ones. Let me give you some examples.

You will have difficulties hanging out with your old friends.

They will see you differently from the time you were equals. You still are, but they no longer see you as theirs. A few will still be the same. They will understand you are no different from before. But you will get less to talk about when you live separate lives. Soon you talk more and more about the only thing that unifies all men. Sports. But after they realize you spend time with their idol. The conversation is over.

The distance between you and people will widen

To a large extent, what unifies us is our struggles, hopes, and dreams.

Most people struggle a lot. They live weekend lives where they feel the only time they can breathe is on the weekend. The problem is, though, after the weekend comes, yes, you know it — Monday. So you only get Friday evening, Saturday, and a fraction of Sunday to enjoy because your Monday anxiety is back on Sunday afternoon.
