It's hard to stop, especially if you don't spend the first portion of money wisely. This is very true. Easy money skews how you think. When I was into credit card fraud money became less meaningful. I could get almost anything I wanted for free using stolen cards. That said, I also kept my activities below what I considered a safe threshold, volumes that would be less likely to cause a large investigation.
