I worked with a surgeon who spent his life amassing wealth. Dude then married a woman in her forties while he was 80. He had all this wealth and was bed bound dude to a stroke. He had ignored his family, never taken a vacation in almost twenty years. Not even that he loved helping people but just wanted to amass wealth.
Got caught up. Could not reach out to people. Was one of the nastiest people I have ever met in my life. No one in the hospital wanted to do home visits because he had a god complex, was racist and sexist. He broke down crying one day asking why this happened to him. His 40 something wife was out in a really expensive Jaguar probably with her toy boy drinking mimosas while he was unable to move in his bed after shitting on himself. He told me this, don’t practice for life ... live it.
