    doesn’t stop the worry.

    As someone who makes a lot more money than I did previously, I’d say it largely does, at least for me.

    I don’t spend anywhere near as much time:

    • Budgeting
    • Looking at my bank account balance
    • Deciding what needful thing I’ll neglect this month

    In short, I spend less time thinking about money, which means I spend less time worrying about money.

    It’s not like I don’t worry at all about money, but I do worry a lot less of the time, and less intensely.

    At this point, honestly, I think having more income might make me more stressed than I am now. Though I would like to be able to quit my day job for a business I own myself, maybe. As long as the income was reliable.
