    Financial obesity makes it seem like it’s the same as being fat, which doesn’t make sense because being fat is not a specific problem in the same way that being rich is.

    I’m sure you just mean it like “fat cat” but it’s a bizarre way to phrase it since it isn’t a good analogy.

      I think it’s just meant as a way to reverse the usual assumption that it’s a desirable state, it puts it in terms that imply you have too much and it’s not good for you.
