* You'll have more quality time or bonding with your family
* For me, it is happier to be simple
* Having a simple but loving family is better than being rich but lonely or lack of love
Explanation:
1. You sacrificed a lot.
During your years of hard work to earn money, you might have given up key relationships, cut off future opportunities, missed out on life experiences, or sold out on your true passions and dreams. If wealth simply compensates for the things you can’t do, then the benefits are a trade-off that might not be worth it. —Ben Towne and Stan Hayward
2. You could be perceived as greedy, ruthless, or a workaholic.
If you buy nice things, people may perceive you as materialistic or as a show-off. Furthermore, "Your success is someone else's loss, and the cause of their resentment." —Alex Coppen
3. Being wealthy can cut you off from larger society.
Either out of fear or the belief that you are somehow better than others, you start to find it harder to relate to most other people. Few people can empathize with you, so you might feel a certain sense of isolation. —Paul Buchheit
4. Friends and family may treat you differently.
They might be more likely to ask you for a loan or have unrealistic standards for the Christmas or birthday presents you bring home, and if you don’t pick up the bill during a meal, you may seem stingy. Since many people think that being rich is the secret to all happiness, they may have lower tolerance if you vent about your frustrations. It can be difficult to meet the high expectations people hold you to. —Alex Coppen
5. The money might cause you to lose perspective.
Ask yourself: “Do you own your money, or does it own you?” It can be easy for money to gain control over your life, whether as the subject of frequent family arguments or the constant worry of losing your wealth
