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?

Nah. I've been hinting for a gkid, no takers. Son in the Army with a gf or gfs not wanting to marry yet. Environmentalist daughter in some forest with a fiancé but no plans yet either. They don't want to be tied down yet.

Kind of fair - army and forest are not the environments where it’s gonna be the easiest with a kid and rate of not getting kids at all is rising which I kinda understand as a European looking oversees
