I think a lot of people think that being well-off and successful basically eliminates all of life's worries, and I think that's especially the case in more left-wing circles. It's really not, until you hit that like 10 million net worth mark or so, or are wealthy for reasons other than working. Really the only stressors it removes are the economic stressors, aside from the fear that everything goes to shit if you lose your job.

Moderate wealth from actual work still leaves you alienated from the haute bourgeoisie, while simultaneously alienating you from the rest of the proletariat. Your only option is to bump elbows with the petite bourgeoisie who won't relate to the issues you have, which is still alienating. Everyone above you on the capitalism tower is punching down, and everyone below you is punching up, so it's a weird position to be getting punched from both directions.

The great unifier is that everyone has the same non-economic issues, but the divider is now that nobody wants to hear them. I feel ya there. DM me if you wanna have a chat about this or vent!
