Good read. I think with that reasoning for success it does eventually become a vicious cycle. You want to make more money, you make more money then buy more stuff. Then, you need even more money to keep up and it snow balls from there. I believe around $70,000 is said to be the amount of money that’ll keep you comfortable (depending on area); everything else after that is just luxuries. There are many successful people out there now that are actually contributing to help others by motivating, donating, inspiring, teaching, and mentoring. Sounds like another good lesson in life.

Look at the military... rank or training or some other metric that is equivalent to success in your eyes or the viewpoint of others....
What happens when you attain it? Where from there? Retirement (not bloody likely, you fought to hard to get here)? Maybe.... increasingly aberrant/aggressive/self-destructive behaviors to ‘prove’ your worth to yourself or your peers?
That latter is just a thought. Not a fact. Not an observation. No proof is offered because i have none. But what if?

That is actually a great comparison. I didn't even think of it in that sense or from the green side. The adrenaline rush and war. It leaves alot of people looking for the fix after returning home. This reminds me of the discussion of Lack of Traumatic Stress Disorder (LTSD) discussed by Tyler Grey on Episode 52 of The Launch Code Podcast.
