The soft life, has many believing that a life of luxury is easily attainable.
With the advent of social media, the opulent lifestyles of the rich and famous suggest a “nice life” with little to no problems.
In 2020, South African rapper AKA, claimed he “invented” the soft life.
Something many international artists would probably not take too lightly, having lived a life with immense wealth long before AKA.
Take Rick Ross for example, the US rapper and high-flying “baller” owns hundreds of luxury cars. Yes, hundreds.
Here’s the kicker, Ross does not have a driver’s license. Granted he’s so wealthy he probably has drivers to chauffeur him around which is the perfect example of soft life problems.
This was the conversation on Feel Good with Andy Maqondwana on Friday, with listeners sharing some of the problems they wished they had.
An unlimited bank balance topped the list for many, who felt there was nothing that money couldn’t fix in their lives.
One listener shared he would love to have Rick Ross’ problem of not knowing which car to make use of for the day.
“Imagine going to your own showroom to decide which wheels you want to take for a spin? Must be nice.”
Having the freedom to travel and experience jet-lag whenever they feel like is a perk many wealthy people can also brag about.
“I want my biggest stress in life to be where I’m taking my family for a month-long holiday.”
Why pick one international destination when your soft life problems mean you have the option to tour all of Europe if you so desire?
Another soft life privilege that affluent people have at their disposal is having a personal chef, nanny and endless shopping sprees at designer labels.
“I don’t have to worry about the kids or cooking because I can have people take care of that for me, while I spend my days swiping my black card or sipping bubbly at a spa.”
Ja. Neh. Must be nice.
