Happiness >>>> Effort and stress
I'm happy. I could do more, but it would be an effort and stressful to do so. Therefore I don't.
I'm not well off but I spend whatever I want yet still Money in >>> Money out, I have rollover at the end of the month. Have fun whilst you're here, and if for you that's clawing and fighting your way to the top then WP, but it's not for me.
Why stress myself over achieving more? In 200 years we'll all be just as dead, no matter what we achieve. And don't give me the "legacy" crap, how long is that likely to last? 100 years? 1000? 1,000,000? We've already had about 12,000,000,000 years! Eventually nobody will remember you, no matter what you achieve - And it'll probably be a lot sooner than you think.
