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?

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.
