[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its rocket ship building. Once you reach a certain point of wealth where your portfolio compounds faster than you need or want to spend you've built a rocket that has achieved escape velocity from problems money can solve. Paycheck to paycheck is living on the ground. A nice bonus is a puddle jumper plane ride. But the pratical definition of "wealth" is a rocket ship, even if it just can carry you into space. Then you think, can I build one to carry my family? Many generations of my family? Can we maintain it and stock it and make it self sustainable forever?

But no rocket can last forever. The population of inhabitants will either eventuually grow exponentially and no fuel will be enough, structural issues will emerge and internal and external forces will wear it down. Or the population will dwindle and the rocket eventually dismantled and sold for parts or is an antique inhabited by a paid crew who select people for short rides to space to briefly feel what zero gravity is like.[/quote]
