  • It’s never enough. You get to a point you don’t ever want to live below your means ever again. To stay at that level you want double, triple what you have now so you can stave the losses of the next crash. The greed grows.

    You get to a point where you worry something or someone outside of just recessions will take it away because you’ve seen it happen to others and you’ve worked too hard to get it. The greed grows.

    The sad part is this isn’t something new nor isolated and every single human being is capable of it because greed literally is a survival instinct in all of us.
