Many multi-millionaires of Silicon Valley are still working long hours and striving to "keep up with the Jones'."
Executives cited in a recent NY Times article shared stories of their financial successes, yet they still don't feel like they have "made it."
The main theme of the article is that most of the people cited are comparing the money that they have accumulated even more than they have - people who have accumulated $30 Million or more.
“Here, the top 1 percent chases the top one-tenth of 1 percent, and the top one-tenth of 1 percent chases the top one-one-hundredth of 1 percent,” he said.
“You try not to get caught up in it,” he added, “but it’s hard not to.”
This story reminds me of the adage - "true wealth is living within your means"
