I’m not sure, I think money does corrupt all but the steeliest of hearts. Right now I wish I made a little more so we could accomplish several goals we want. Once those are done, there are loftier long-term goals! Like many, I doubt I’ll ever be satisfied with my income, because I’m ambitious in the rest of my life. If I won a million dollars, I like to think I’d be satisfied because I could get those things done, although I’d still have to work. But… at that point I’d want more, so I could retire early and have more time to spend on the rest of my life. Now if somehow I got that much money - I like to think I’d be satisfied. But we can see time and again how that doesn’t happen. There’d be something else just out of reach. Our capability to want is near endless, and it’s a hunger that gets worse the more you feed it.
So really I don’t fool myself into thinking I’m immune to it, and I’m not a sociopath.
