> On top of that, minor tasks and chores pile up

This. So much this.

"Rich" people often have so much time available to them because they make enough money to offload all the minor tasks (shopping for basic needs, government paperwork and bureaucracy, scheduling appointments, etc.).

Paradoxically, wealthy people often feel like they have less time, because their opportunities are so much broader than those without less money. So it’s a factor of rising opportunity costs.

I would be happier with fewer chores and admin tasks. I never get those done in one shot. They take a lot of time, cost too much to delegate.

Some tasks I don’t even know how I can delegate but I’m sure some people do.

And just to avoid the rich vs poor, I’ll caveat - some people’s first instinct is to successfully delegate or get help. And or they spend more. Caveat’s caveat: it can be learned and practiced, like anything.
