> How come it's always poor, lower/mid class people who don't have enough money that always complain about not being able to do things (hobbies, interests, desires...) and always the rich, upper class people who complain that they don't have an interest in anything since they can have everything :-/ I used to be poor and then I stopped being poor. Long story. Not rich rich, but honestly wilder than any realistic expectations back home. Here’s what I noticed happens somewhere around the 180k to 250k salary range – you lose the fire in your belly. All the important things are taken care of, you’re easily saving enough money to retire early, nothing really presents a challenge. Oh you wanna go on vacation? Yeah just go. The money will sort itself out. Oh you want to buy a thing you like? Yeah, just buy it. There is no anticipation and excitement about the things that used to be a big treat yo self moment. It’s just easy. Sure you’re not buying fancy cars and big houses or whatever … but do you really even want to? Really? Those things add nothing substantial to your life. The hedonic treadmill is no lasting fun. Everything you actually need is trivial to obtain. So for those of us who learned that life is a grind from a young age, life loses some of the luster when the grind becomes unnecessary. Time to look elsewhere for fulfillment.
