The Easterlin Paradox
Excessive affluence can lead to:
Social comparison: Constantly measuring oneself against others who have more, leading to feelings of inadequacy.
Entitlement: Expecting special treatment and becoming dissatisfied when expectations aren’t met.
Isolation: Wealth can create social distance, making it harder to form genuine connections with others.
Anxiety and stress: Managing wealth and maintaining a certain lifestyle can be a significant source of stress.
