I can somewhat understand their mindset.

Once you reach a certain level of wealth, you don't really need money just to survive—you already have enough.

After that point, money becomes more like a high score you're trying to beat.

Hitting certain revenue targets, reaching specific asset milestones—that kind of thing.

And because of that, they start to believe they're working for some other value, not for money.

But if you talk to them long enough, you always end up at the same conclusion: 'It's still about money, isn't it?'

They'd never admit it, though.

'Because I'm not earning money just to survive—I'm different from you guys.'

They genuinely believe that.

Meanwhile, I'm here thinking that if I don't do work I hate, I'll literally go hungry tomorrow.
