That’s definitely part of it. It’s like, when I was just scraping by (I did work full time but was paying a lot in rent and food and taxes etc) the idea of being one paycheck away from the street really didn’t bother me. Now, I feel like I’ve become dependent on the assumption of having money and needing more, more more of it just to feel safe somehow.
I think it may just be that the psychological impact of having money and losing it is far worse than never having it in the first place.
