Sad. Killing yourself for dreams of houses in Monaco, Texas and Manhattan seems so foreign and pointless having now experiencing the simple joys of modest FIRE.
I can understand wanting to make lots of money for philanthropic reasons. For example, the idea of a well funded nonprof providing interest-free payday loans to the poor (thereby driving traditional payday loan companies out of business) is appealing to me, would be meaningful effort.
But to work more just to buy more shit, just to impress people...meh, I don't get it.
