To put this whole thing another way: the first time I hear a billionaire say "there's more
to life than money; all the sacrifices and so forth it took to get here weren't worth it"
I'll shut up and eat my serving of crow. Until then, isn't it kind of silly for all of us
sub-billionaires to speculate on how devoid of meaning and real value and experience the
lives of billionaires must be? Isn't it *just possible* that, when we say things like
"there's more to life than money," it's just a way of making ourselves feel better about not
having that kind of money?
