Who doesn?t want to be a billionaire? A millionaire, even? Think of all the troubles that would simply melt away.
Of course, we know deep down that money won?t solve all of life?s problems. And billionaires, it seems, have problems, too. One difference is, no one is likely to feel sorry for them.
?When you have a billion dollars, of course you?re happy about that,? said Brad Klontz, a psychologist and certified financial planner who works with the uber-wealthy.
As a society, he said, we believe the wealthy have no right to complain about their lives. ?We have little patience for that,? he said. ?But the truth is, the ultrarich suffer from the same existential angst as anyone else.?
