Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

One of the things I'll never understand is the desire for rich people to keep working. To keep accumulating more wealth.
If I had a few million £ in the bank I'd retire faster than you can say 1 percent.
Rich people hoard money without any regards for morals or ethics, and they certainly don't stop to ponder the purpose of their wealth. That's just their drug.
You're not addicted. That's why you're not rich.
It's also why a lot of people who win the lottery end up broke within a year: they don't have the mental illness of greed necessary to stay rich.

I'm with you until you get to the lottery part. Your description implies that those lottery winners who don't go bankrupt are somehow worse than the ones who do go bankrupt, which doesn't make any sense.
They lose their money because they can't control their spending, not because they lack the mental illness of money addiction.
What a strange perspective you've given. It makes me suspect that you have a personal motive for thinking that way.
They mostly lose their money because everyone that finds out that they are suddenly rich, starts sueing to get what "they are owed," or someone just kills them. The ones that can't control their spending might never go broke, provided they got the lump sum invested by a fiduciary quickly enough.
Your response is nonsensical. First, if they are killed, that doesn't count. The terms we used were "going broke" and "going bankrupt". Nobody uses those terms in their normal sense and means "gets killed". So, your claim that a person getting killed is a counterexample is nonsense.
Lawsuits don't generally count, either. First, if those lawsuits are big, they are usually about who owns the lottery winnings in the first place. It means the person's winnings were not as big because they were trying to keep winnings from other rightful winners, not that they lose money. If the lawsuits are big decisions against them for other reasons, then the person was already screwed with or without winning the lottery, they just weren't worth being sued before. If the lawsuits are worthless, then a lottery winner can afford to hire a lawyer. If they inexplicably don't hire a lawyer and just pay out settlements, that's just a stupider example of what I was talking about where they don't control their spending.
Your. examples. do. not. make. sense.
And on top of that, just go do the tiniest bit of research. I can tell that you didn't even do a search because when I did, the search results were all about people spending too much. Some of them even appeared to have legitimate statistics. What you've done is pull your entire comment out of your ass. If you continue trying to defend these points without linking any proof, I will simply block and report you for trolling.
Greed, selfishness. I'm sure the psychologists have got a diagnosis...
