You're both assuming the types of problems are the same. It's not like everyone has the same life, the only difference being how much money they have in checking.

If you let money rule you, the more you have the worse off you are. If you make it your bitch then it's awesome. The key is realizing possessions are just shite and not to get overstretched.

we both clearly expressed that the problems aren't even remotely the same.

So someone living off a 20K salary having to scrape by to afford rent and food compared to someone making 150K and having to keep up with the insurance on all their vehicles isn't much of a difference?

I'd say those problems are quite a bit different. Sure each is a "problem" to the individual, one that may cause stress and other problems in life, but one is far, far more serious in nature.

Well, if you make $200k/yr and run into some money problems, you certainly have flexibility to cut some things out.

If you make $25k/yr (like I did), you don't have many places to cut, and have to start making real life decisions
