    That is what I’d roughly call the inbetween.

    Striving for pointless luxury means “being rich” for me. That’s what my initial comment was about. Surely, “rich” is a very subjective term, very different from different perspectives. But that’s what this thread is about.

      Pointless luxury can have different meaning for different people. Some people use money to amass power. For such people, controlling multiple businesses in multiple vital industries is key. For a person who wants to use money to achieve freedom (lile me), buying up media companies would be pointless. For someone aiming to amass power, it would be key.
