[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am upper middle class but have known a lot of RICH people and can say that upper middle class wants-for-little-but-flies-premium-economy-on-their-own-dime is the best scenario. You have everyting you need, almost everything you want (almost is KEY), can afford education and experiences for your kids, who then have to go work to replicate the lifestyle and don't have an easy opportunity to fall into bad lifestyle habits (laziness, drugs, etc...).

“Almost” is key.

When people can buy everything they could possibly want and more, that’s when they get often get weird.  It gets harder to get that dopamine and endorphin rush that the rest of us get when we finally buy those nice winter boots we’ve had our eye on or that Viking range we’ve always wanted.

If they’re well-adjusted, they seek it by being charitable (Melinda Gates, MacKenzie Scott).

If they’re not, they seek it by breaking laws, lying, cheating, stealing, and doing risky, stupid things.  Hence Epstein Island, piloting their own planes without proper training, and diving to the titanic in a makeshift submarine.
