Well, this is more about what the OP unlearned. He has yet to learn how to live with moeny, now that he's kind of stuck with it. I have some very wealthy friends who do not fit that pattern at all. They know what to do with their money (and no it's not about buying luxury cars). They know how to keep a sense of purpose in their lives. They know how to keep healthy relationships despite the money imbalance. What's interesting is what comes AFTER the realization that money doesn't buy everything. It still buys you a lot of freedom, the question is what you do with that!
