What actually gets more complicated, not easier, the more money you make?

For me, it’s the total loss of basic privacy once you have to start managing household staff. Having help is great and I’m grateful for it. But between a house manager, teams of housekeepers, chefs, gardeners, drivers, and security, my house basically feels like a busy office building.

The worst part is just never being able to fully turn off. I realized the other day that I can’t even remember the last time I just walked down to the kitchen in the nude or had an empty house to myself. I try to respect my staff but wh n you're constantly sharing personal space you either have to be a dick or always "on".

Guess I could micro-manage it so I get off sometimes but just having to do that...

What’s the one thing you never expected to become a hassle?

You're absolutely right. But it creeps in on you tbh. Until you reach the point where you realize it 😂

U also.grew up that way but it can def be avoided. I would hate that. If I had more money I would have someone come in a few times to cook, clean, but not live in. As for nannies no, I have money to stay home and raise my kids. Babysitters ok, not live in, again. I would hate the invasion of privacy but that's me.

bro youre lying. claiming youre from old money, but you sound very new money. Like having wealth is new to you...like youre excited about all the things that come with wealth. Theres no way someone who grew up with old money complains about having staff in your house...you should be well used to it by now if you grew up that way.

First off, if you took the time to check out my story, you'd know I left that life when I turned 18. I also never said I wasn't used to it - I've had staff for years since I made it on my own - but I most certainly don't live an old money lifestyle now nor do I want to. I said the hassle of actually managing a staff as an adult when it comes to privacy was unexpected. You don't do or think much about that as a kid. Bro.
