Then why are you saving all of this money?  Is it anxiety?  My own parent has anxiety and because of it I’ll inherit a large inheritance.  Or is it that a large bank account truly makes you happy?

It could certainly be anxiety. I've already had around six episodes of depression and or anxiety over the last 18 years, so I wanted to build my net worth up to a point where I would never have to work again. At $2M, I'm just about there. Also, having my own tiny 1BR apartment that I lease with no debt and $2M in assets already puts me in the top 10% of people worldwide, so if I buy a bigger condo, I would be up in the top 5%. I don't have expensive hobbies. I hang out with my church friends a lot and can buy them some Chick-fil-A catered food occasionally, so I feel like I'm already living a charmed life. Also, I will likely inherit around $2m to $3m within the next 10 years, but I don't count that yet or even like to think about it, because that will mean my parents have died.[/quote]
