In this episode of 5FT. Philosophy, I examine the mindset of “it’s never enough” in a culture built on comparison, consumption, and constant chasing. From athletes and celebrities to everyday people working regular jobs, the finish line keeps moving. The more you make, the more you spend. The higher you climb, the more you compare. This episode explores lifestyle inflation, wealth hoarding, artificial scarcity, and the psychology behind why even people with millions can still feel broke. There are enough resources in this world but the system rewards accumulation, not contentment. Better than some. Worse than others. I keep hearing people with millions of dollars say it’s not enough. And I don’t think they’re lying. I think they’re trapped. Because in this country, there is no finish line. If you make sixty thousand a year, you look at someone making a hundred. If you make a hundred, you look at someone making a million. If you make a million, you’re looking at ten. It never stops. That’s how the system is designed. Capitalism doesn’t reward contentment. It rewards dissatisfaction. You see athletes go broke. You see celebrities lose everything. You see people make money fast and spend it even faster. Not because they’re all irresponsible. But because their lifestyle grows with their income. And once that happens, “enough” disappears. Here’s the part people don’t like to admit: There are enough resources in this world Enough money. Enough food. Enough opportunity. But wealth gets hoarded. Stacked. Concentrated. So everyone feels like they’re scrambling for something that’s running out. And when your whole life is built on comparison…You can be rich and still feel poor.

I’m here to slow things down long enough so you can think for yourself.
Sit with it.
