Overambition isn’t the root of the issue.

Greater imperfection and greatest thing. We want more, we get better, we make stuff, but at some point we end up being damaged by our ambition.
My dad’s workout philosophy that he tried to pass on to me was “do as many as you can, then one more” and I only recently realized this is his entire worldview.

So what’s his reason for not being rich?
It’s those galdarn kids and their dog.
