There was an interesting interview with Bill Gates long ago, and he was asked a question like “what surprised you the most about becoming so wealthy?”...

Johnny Carson took an audience question asking what's the best thing about being rich. He said it's not having to worry about paying the bills.

One of our relatives is quite wealthy, living in Malibu, etc. and so on. He went food shopping with us once, and my husband and I were deciding what to purchase pricewise, and he just looked at us and said, "Oh, I never look at prices, ever. If I want it, I put it in the cart." So after my mother passed away and left us some money, I told my husband I was going out to do some "Siefert" shopping.

Well... I'm not wealthy (like them, anyway) but I already don't have to worry about paying the bills. That's a pretty low bar. :-)
