Frankly, I think it puts things in perspective. The reality is that on a day-to-day basis, I work with affluent investors and help them maximize their generational wealth transfer and investment returns. That’s about as cold and “non-societal benefit-oriented” as it gets. However, when things don’t go so well in the stock market and people lose a few percent from where they had been, I feel a little more grounded knowing that these are rich people problems, and that for every person that may feel dissatisfaction with their investment portfolio, thousands of people would trade places with them in a heartbeat for that problem.
