From where I come from, you need to be a billionaire to be rich.

Sometimes i was thinking that it's better to be poor than rich because when you're rich, you'll be in constant worry to get poor. When you're poor, you'll only have happy thoughts on what you could've done when you're rich

Since no one mentioned this, but to me it sounds you are feeling lonely because you can't share this with anyone besides your wife and kids.

It's not easy to start over and make new friends with whom you have a 10-20-30 year old bond. I think that's the issue here.

Nobody else matters, but you and the Mrs.
In our country showing that you made it only gets you negative reactions from envious people. Must be the Calvinistic background. Never quite understood that. Forget old friends and move on driving what you like.
If you feel the need for charity, do look around closer to home. Many people in the NL living a hard life. Ever heard of voedselbank ? These exists for a reason

Sure, but not being able to share it with old and close friends suck as well. You need people around you besides your family.

And like another poster said, when your money is in investments like crypto, wealth can come and go very quickly. Be prepared.

Locutus49 is a very wise man. Stay humble, and be true to yourself.

To be fair a lot of good people on this forum like a nice pair of shoes. Nothing wrong with that and all power to them (me included lol).

To say you don't respect people because they spend their own money on 'bullshit' like shoes says more about the poster than any reply he may get.

Most of the time on this forum is overstuffed with obviously rather snobbish, very well off types who post important questions like "I have thirty-three Rolex's. Should I sell four to get that Patek or should I put my wife on the street for a year or two instead?"

I have money. Money far beyond most in this world. My wife and I don't live like we have the means to buy much more than a decent house in a decent neighborhood. We don't drive expensive cars. Why? Quite simply because after we paid off our last house with cash on the way to where we are now, many of our blood relatives were outright insulting us for being very, very careful with money. All of them expected a hand out. For about ten years we were literal pariahhas in the family. How did we get out of it? WE LIED OUR REAR ENDS OFF. our relatives now think we do OK, but that we had to remortgage our house. When they gripe about their high mortgage payments we join in.

My daughter went through something similar with friends she thought were her closest and really down to earth. When a long term investment she and her husband made in California real estate in the bad times of 2010 paid off, and they came out with the grand sum of $100k, they lost two close friends in the aftermath.

Don't flaunt your hard earned or inherited wealth.

Based on what very little I know about you, I'm going to guess that your problems with your family had little to do with money.
