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.

I... don't WANT to dislike dansup, but every post of his feels like it's assembled by cutting words out of a magazine and pasting them on a computer screen. I know some people are simply awkward in text. It took years to convince my boss to stop texting in caps, for example. But it does make me curious if I'm the only one that thinks so. People seem to fave and boost these awkward posts pretty freely.  I don't follow him but nothing recent looks like what you say. Provide examples and qualify your argument.  |
@Craigp helping other people not have to worry about money is nice too.
@Craigp I heard of a research into how much money a person needs to live comfortably and be happy.

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.
