Summary

This quote suggests that having less money can sometimes lead to less worry or stress. This may be because individuals with fewer financial resources have fewer material possessions or financial responsibilities, resulting in less fear of financial loss or setbacks. Having limited financial means can also promote a sense of gratitude for what one does have, instead of constant longing for more. However, the quote also acknowledges that there are limits to this idea, implying that extreme poverty can bring significant challenges and worry that go beyond financial concerns.
