43. I really don't get the drive to be worth billions

Tue Jul 19, 2022, 05:54 PM

Jul 2022

The moment I had $10 million, I’d quit trying to get more.

Reminds me of the survey from this article:

https://amp.theguardian.com/science/2022/jun/16/how-much-money-is-needed-for-ideal-life-study

I think the same study found that a majority of Americans needed $100 million or more to live their ideal life.

How much crap and things does the average person need?

At 42 years old, all I want is a newer (i.e. used) Porsche 911, a garage full of woodworking tools, and a 3-4 bedroom house in the woods. In reality, I can make every bit of that happen - and I don’t even have a million dollars.
