That’s a really interesting assessment. I like how you framed the downside risk. I wonder if people born into wealth have a different relationship with it; it is theirs but also not theirs. In some ways maybe that allows them to see money more clearly. Maybe they know what enough and too much really look like. Many people who achieve money or fame struggle with losing either and will do anything to keep accruing.
Brilliat take on financial autonomy as a lever for family boundries. The comparison between Brooklyn's downside protection and someone accruing wealth is really smart, I've seen this in my own extended family where the spouse with independent means could actualy negotiate differently. It's kinda rare to see this dynamic laid out so clearly without moralizing either side.

Yes. Wealth is complex, and being born into it comes with privileges, strings, and expectations. Thanks for reading and exploring this topic with us!
