    Judging by the downvotes, some very aggressively do not want to understand. They’re offended that you should even suggest it.

      The problem is that they don’t feel rich because they compare themselves to people who are even more wealthy.

      That, and they feel that this FACT that they are wealthy invalidates the “hustle” they put into getting there. Some of them ACTUALLY put in that much work, most of them didn’t. ALL of them feel like they put in that much hustle, whether they did or didn’t.
