And this is really the heart of why capitalism is truly evil. You're stuck on a treadmill that adjusts as soon as you get comfortable. There are rows and rows of your peers next to you, and you see them running a bit faster, so you press the button to go faster so you don't look "slower" than them. It is built-in from the primate days of fighting for literal survival. You can't let them win or you'll starve and die. If you're a well-paid SWE, you're probably in the top 1% of the world: eating anything you want, living happily, likely without debt (or could easily pay it off). And here you are thinking you still need more, and thinking you'll never be happy with it.
