Yeah, the thing is - I just don't get it. Like most people likely do, I have thought about what I'd do if I came into a large sum of money, maybe by selling a company, and honestly, the answer is, a relatively normal flat in the city I live in; some travel, but nothing 'luxury', just seeing places I find interesting; giving both to charities I find worthwhile, and my local community; and investing in a responsible way (fuck returns if you get them by investing in oil and weapons, one could argue that investor owned companies as such are a problem, but I'm probably not going to be able to solve that can of worms).
So the difference in my life would be having less financial stress, being able to give back more, and focusing more on family, friends, and hobbies, and I just couldn't imagine blowing through money like that man has.
It may be partially because I saw my father find incredible success, only to spend a lot of it on pointless luxuries before dying in incredible debt, but it also just feels like common sense.
