As Russ Prince (author, the wealth industry) describes it, it’s the mindset of, “I have the $5 million jet. I want the $10 million jet.” But he doesn’t see it as greed. Rather, he says, it’s simply a reflection of what everyone at every income level wants: something more.
” ‘Greedy’ is the wrong word,” Prince says. “ This is not a bad thing. This is the capitalist model. The desire to keep moving up, to enhance their lifestyle, is critical to having this entrepreneurial society.”

Awhile ago, this young fellow came to the teacher and asked what he needed to do to finish well. He was told to love God and obey the rules. The guy said he'd done all of that, and the teacher told him to prove it, but he couldn't or perhaps wouldn't, and he went away unhappy. His wealth, it seems, had tainted his thinking, his view of his lifestyle and future. He couldn't imagine changing course to a better purpose.
It's hard, the teacher said, for a rich person to finish well. Really hard. Later, the teacher's friends were struggling to understand. "If that rich fellow can't do it, how can we or anyone?" There is a way, but it's perhaps not obvious once wealth and class obscure things. Wealth becomes an impediment at a surprisingly low threshold.
