>>Ditto if the prime gets to have your life, the others might be jealous?<<

Mm, there's that. I'm not sure if "jealous of prime's life" would be quite the right framing, but it could lead to some similar results.

I think if it were me, there would be [the trouble adjusting to the upheaval in life circumstances] and [getting pissed at *other* people for thinking the me holding down the fort is More Real], and if these occurred at the same time† they could blend together.

>>unless we were competing for resources (i.e. access to money/family/friends/prized possessions)<<

Time with family and friends might be a problem. There isn't *all* that much money lying around to have access to, and each me has equal ability to work (not at *exactly* the same job, but could find a very similar one with relative ease). Luckily I don't tend to get attached to objects much beyond becoming accustomed to their sensory input (so it *would* suck having to get new ones but only as part of the general-life-upheaval suckiness; I'd get used to it): my most prized possessions are all information and can be easily copied.

>>We'd diverge quickly in the ways which allow for interesting conversation, because I'm the sort of person who'd respond to "There's five of me" with "Okay, time to make some *real* progress on the ole' infinite reading list."<<

†As opposed to something more Thomas-Riker-style, where you don't find out there's another you living your old life until after you've gotten used to your new one.
