(8,895 posts)people I know, (not the Uber Wealthy) and I have come to believe that their almost psychotic obsession with money, and making more money, is their greatest fear, and that is a fear of losing it......Most here, if they were to crash, would pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and get back into the game.
The Rich fear losing all their money, because they wouldn't have a clue how to recover, since most of them have only known a life of having everything they wanted and more.................AND there are a large group of them that were Trust Fund Kids and inherited their money.......they sure as hell didn't ever work a day in their lives.......
They all have extremely deep seated insecurities that are covered up by their wealth.............
Those who are anywhere near the top 1% are doing anything and everything, by hook or by crook, to get into that top 1%, while the getting is good.............
