Eventually things have to be good enough. Don't you think that Bill Gates has enough money, or do you think he needs to try and increase his profits even more? We are not bragging we are comparing. We compare ourselves to others so that we have a idea of how much we know where we place on a world scale. Kinda like when they survey and say that 30% make $(A) a year; 40% make $(B) a year, and 25% make $(D) a year and 5% picked other. It is just a comparison
