edhopperMy wife and I have a comfotable retirementWe own our Condo outright and have an income in the upper 5 figures. This pays all our bills and expenses and allows us to go out for dinner and entertainment and travel. Not extravagantly, but enough to make us content. We have a nice Honda that take us where we need and with Medicare, out healthcare is taken care of.Now if we had $10 or $20 or $50 million dollars we would have a more luxurious life, we could afford a better car, travel a bit more and stay in nicer places, flying first class would be great.But I don't think our life is diminished because we don't have real wealth.What made me think about this is all the Mega Rich assholes with more money than God, who have more than they can spend in 100 lifetimes. Many septuagenarian and octogenarians. Who could have a life full of adventure and enrichment. But instead all they want is another 3% tax cut to have more money they will never need. And they are willing to burn the country down to get it. They don't care about women's rights, LBGT rights, gun violence, climate change, education, healthcare, helping the unfortunate or anything else that might help people. They support the worst of us just to get their extra tax break, or destroy some regulation that prevents them from doing what they want.Power and Greed is all that feeds them. And they will destroy anything that gets in their way, including the country.https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218766065

For all edhopper's affluence, he still envies those more affluent than him. Sad.
I think the biggest takeaway on this OP is ed doesn’t seem willing to share some of his wealth to those less fortunate than himself. Take UGP for instance. I’m sure she would like a much smaller vacation than ed and his wife find enjoyable. ...
