Like how an addict’s tolerance to their drug of choice grows and grows. So you’re telling me not being ultra mega rich is allowing me to maintain my levels of fun. Huzzah!
It likely is. But with all the credit cards and consumer-loans being pushed today, anyone is susceptible to so called “lifestyle creep” where you get used to the things that come with spending more and more, and it starts to feel impossible to back to being frugal. Even if you are massively in debt and living beyond your means.
And still if money does stop being a concern for you, not budgeting your own attention can lead to an endless spiral of mindless consumption in search of good brain chemicals.
I suspect many rich people are desensitised to fun. They spend more and more, on more and more adventurous bs, out of sheer boredom.
If only they knew how fulfilling using their obscene wealth to help people could be!
