In the hobbyist/amateur racing scene there is a saying that "money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a racecar, and a racecar brings happiness." Which is meant to be flippant, but there's truth in it. The rise and grind folks that spend their existence chasing money often forego hobbies. And then they achieve success and become sort of lost. Maybe they buy stuff to rent happiness for a while, but without any underlying interest or passion, it's just stuff, and can't provide any lasting happiness. That's why so many successful people go back to work, because it's the only thing they know how to do. I just know if I end up with a giant pile of cash, I'm paying for my whole team to go racing as much as we'd like.
