The 1% Need Wealth Therapy To Cope With Issue Of Being Filthy Fucking Rich
All we hear about from the 99 percent is that they’ve got it rough. They take to Twitter and Wall Street to complain about their problems in a public setting, expecting pity — presumably burning valuable sick days and destroying American productivity.
But what about the wealthy people of America? Do they, too, not suffer? Why must we only focus on the issues that poors have when real problems exist among the real rich? Do you know how difficult it is to decide which luxury car to buy, which island to vacation on next, or whether or not to invest in a certain company? All this shit takes its toll. It’s hard out there for the rich.
Thankfully, there is help out there for us money-havers in the form of wealth therapy. The Guardian interviewed one of the most prominent wealth therapists, Clay Cockerall, to find out more about how the rich think.
There is guilt over being rich in the first place, he said. There is the feeling that they have to hide the fact that they are rich. And then there is the isolation – being in the 1%, it turns out, can be lonely.
Now you 99 percenters are making us hide the fact that we just straight up have so much more than you. Shame on you for wealth shaming. You disgust me..

Leave it to Bernie Sanders to kick someone while they’re down. Rat bastard.
10 years ago at 6:38 amSince when do I have to feel bad about being successful? It’s called hard work and determination and not being a little bitch. Fuck feminism.

10 years ago at 7:04 amYou strike me as the try hard that takes a picture of himself and puts it as his picture on a satirical fraternity based website.
10 years ago at 7:09 amMaybe I just don’t hide behind an anonymous picture. Call me old fashioned.

What I love about young, unmarried, hipster, I deserve more “because”, people in our country is they don’t realize they are rich. Follow the link above and put in $30,000.00 of income for an individual. You’ll find that individual is in the top 3.8% wealthiest people on the planet. Sick of the wage/wealth gap convo. It isn’t that bad here when you put it in perspective.
10 years ago at 7:09 amit is relative, if I made 14k in a foreign country I’d be rich. if I make 14k in the US I’m considered bordering poverty. however it is still more than most of the world.
10 years ago at 7:31 amAgreed, It is all relative, and this is a limited tool. It also doesn’t account for ownership of property or assets that have value. Just trying to make the point that life in this country is good/better compared to anywhere else. Doesn’t matter who you are.
10 years ago at 7:54 amYou should look up what “cost of living” is.

Have fun explaining that 2.5 average in sociology to a potential employer. Better settle in to mommy’s basement.
The 1% are the 1% bc they work hard and know how to protect what’s theirs. They are also generally philanthropists…giving time and money to worthy causes other than shitty social programs like Medicaid and Obamacare.
10 years ago at 7:47 amso trying to help the less fortunate or retired eldery by providing them with medication and health care is not a worthy cause? ok.
10 years ago at 8:18 amsounds like what doctors without Borders do that’s not a worthy cause either? or is because it’s not domestic makes it noble?
10 years ago at 8:21 amTrying to give people affordable healthcare is a worthy goal. The difference is Obamacare isn’t affordable for the target audience and the people who can’t afford it have to pay a fine higher than the average premium..
10 years ago at 12:05 pmThe difference is that paying for Obamacare is forced by the state, whereas donating money to programs like Doctors Without Borders is a worthy, benevolent thing that you choose to do.
10 years ago at 8:20 pmYou’re so 1%
10 years ago at 8:50 amIf you can talk and be outgoing and develop a strong network money shouldn’t be a worry. It’s also nice everyone has the chance to define what wealth is to them. Being good at golf always helps.
10 years ago at 7:50 amI’ve never been good at golf (I know. NF) but I take my clients trap shooting instead. It seems to work just as well.
