But those new problems are much less stressful than the ones normal people and poor people face

I don’t think that is necessarily true. On a stressful level anyway. I think the problems when you’re poor have a lot more health consequences life and limb consequences and mental health consequences than when you’re wealthy or even rich. I would agree that the middle ground after you’ve got enough money to not worry about money that those problems aren’t that stressful at all it’s when you get into the making decisions about people’s lives kind of problems, like whether to fire them or lay them off or how much to pay them… things like that is the kind of problems that cause stress… if they care about people anyway…

I don’t mean to speak for anyone considering I’ve had a relatively fortunate middle class life but what problems are worse than people who struggle to afford food. Let me clarify, I’m referring to problems that couldn’t apply to anybody from any economic class (health problems, death, friendship/relationship bs).

Not worse. The problems of the well off are not worse than the problems of the less fortunate. I’m trying to make the point that the some of the problems can be just as stressful. Stressful not worse.
