It must be true what Schopenhauer said: "Wealth is like sea water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become."

If you make 900,000 but your rent and healthcare are 850000, how rich are you?
It's more that the psychologically broken people who are also somewhat lucky and intelligent and hard-working end up being those "richest people" - they almost all have some kind of impostor/self-esteem issue. Pretty sure there are a lot of anonymous people with $25M net worth who are happily out rock climbing, traveling, etc.
