Yeah the rich know all the loopholes, they have people on staff just to look for them.
It's weird but when I had almost no money, I never worried about money or about paying taxes. When my parents died and I came into my trust, now all i do is worry about money and have developed a jealousy over it I never thought would happen.
I was able to retire young because of it, I have this house I'll never live long enough to see all the rooms in (I always joke with my friends) but - still, I worry about letting go of any of the money. Maybe because it's something I never had to worry about before...?
I think it may just be that the psychological impact of having money and losing it is far worse than never having it in the first place.
That's definitely part of it. It's like, when I was just scraping by (I did work full time but was paying a lot in rent and food and taxes etc) the idea of being one paycheck away from the street really didn't bother me. Now, I feel like I've become dependent on the assumption of having money and needing more, more more of it just to feel safe somehow.
