Problems Vs money looks more like y = (x - 5)^2 + 2
If "more money=more problems," why doesn't "no money=no problems"?

So what you really need in life is 5 monies. Got it.

Yes, this represents that age where we had the optimal balance of being fully financed by parents yet getting a small allowance we didn’t have to spend on anything. I.e. no problems. Anything else = more problems

Because that’s the logical fallacy of Denying the Antecedent . If “it’s raining” then “the sidewalk is wet”. Knowing that it’s raining tells us something about the sidewalk, it’s not dry, it’s wet. And knowing the sidewalk is dry tells us something, it can’t be raining (because if it was, the sidewalk would be wet).
But knowing “it is not raining” doesn’t tell us about the sidewalk (it could be dry, it could be wet, maybe it rained earlier, maybe a dog peed on it). And similarly knowing the sidewalk is wet doesn’t tell us anything about the rain.
So even if “mo money causes mo problems” all that tells us is that someone with mo money will not be problem free. People with no money might also have mo problems, the syllogism doesn’t tell us about that.

Cuz it doesn’t, more money -> more solutions. At least that’s how I use it.

More like “more claims denied = more problems (for the CEO)”

Because you only get mo problems after you get mo than you need.
Not sure what it is with inflation, but a while ago the number was like 75k?
Money = happiness until you reach whatever threshold that’s at today, and after that mo money doesn’t get you mo happiness, just mo problems.

I believe the number is now closer to $110k and even then you are one major hospital visit from being back on the problems train.
The trick is to make more money, but don’t live like you do. Just save the money. And then be able to retire young with millions in the bank

Because there is a sweet spot somewhere.

I do not see the “more problems” part on “more money”, you can always repurpose it or get rid of it until you are fine…

Too much money = problems, too little money = problems
