Being flooded with poorly written letters asking for money must be a nice problem to have.

Huh? Having so many sales that your server side script can't keep up is a nice problem to have. Having so much money you can never possibly know your actual self-worth is a nice problem to have.

Getting bugged by people who could never add value to you (emotionally, monetarily, or otherwise) is not a nice problem to have. It's just a problem.

Getting a flat tire on your Lamborghini would also be a nice problem to have. Get it? You drive a Lamborghini.

(Unless you're driving 200 mph on the highway and going to crash...)

You're taking the "nice problem to have" meme too far. If I were rich, any problem I have is a "nice problem to have"?

That's just silly.

are you being intentionally obtuse? problems that only come about it situations involving you being rich are "nice problems to have" that's the point of the colloquialism. get your knickers untwisted.
