    Life is not necessarily about constant elevation or expansion. If that's what an individual wants his/her life to be about, then cool but some people are content with having the basics and a little luxury.
    The point of getting a lot of money is to NOT have to work so hard and be able to relax and actually enjoy life. That's why the wealthiest of people invest in ways to generate passive income, so they can enjoy life while still generating income.
