I don't make a lot, yet I'm also not poor. I have a stable "9-5", my work is ok, a few of my co-workers are my current closest buddies that I talk to on a daily basis (in and out of work), I make enough to fund my projects and all the hobbies and sports I want to do... Sure, if I had even more money, I could be working on more expensive versions of my hobby. Instead of modding my 30k car, I can be modding my 100k car. Instead of mid tier hockey gear, I could go balls out top of the line, even when I'm just playing rec level. But on the grand scheme of things, I feel pretty content with my work/money/spending ratio, while still saving up and paying off mortgage comfortably.

So sometimes I wonder what's the drive of people who want to hustle so hard to make big money? Like I can understand moving up the ladder, new position at the firm, changing to a better career, etc. But I'm talking about trying to become a multi-millionaire, rich AF mansion owner, museum car collection with a yacht in the back.

Of course I wouldn't mind having all of that, but the amount of hard work to get there doesn't seem worth it to me, and I'm not all that bothered by not having it... Maybe my ambitions are too short sighted?

im like that too, i find more higher job postion you get and more money the more stress one gets too.
i bought nice watches and i thought it made me happier and it didnt. i got a so called nice car and it didnt make me much happier. i mean other than convience. i find nobody cares about cars other than guy friends and other guys who say right on nice ride
