-- He who dies owing the most wins! You lived like a king and didn't pay for a thing. I don't know, I'm just old I guess, because I don't understand that think

  Owning things isn't the objective. It's the experience of having things to show off to others, to attract friends and mates, and to get likes on social media. It's a lot like Skydiving. People do it so they can have the adoration of others. They want to be able to impress their friends that they did some super cool thing. It's why the iPhone has 17 cameras or whatever it is now. People need the latest, greatest thing to continually get adoration. It's like people that win the lottery and go broke. They finally acquire and get to do whatever it is they always wanted. Maybe they just wanted to live richly for 8-24 months. What's the point of having all that money if you can't have fun? Personally, I don't live this way, but many people do. I've just decided to stop looking down my nose at those people. They are optimizing for their own happiness.
