Like most humans, I don't actually want to be rich. I just want to never have to worry about money.
There's a difference.

@Craigp yep. There's a song here in Cambodia my wife loves. It says we don't need riches or big houses or cars. What we need is just enough. I have more than enough with her. It just took awhile to find her. @Craigp I heard of a research into how much money a person needs to live comfortably and be happy. https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1011492107#sec-1 Turns out, there's kind of a threshold: around $75000 a year in 2021 money. I'd round up a little for inflation and say 100k. True, it's quite high by your standards or mine. It still isn't what we mean by "rich". The problem is that for some people this threshold of "enough money" doesn't exist. It's probably a personality thing. The more money they have, the more they spend on an unnecessarily luxurious life, and they always want more money. @grishka |
