I'm not sure that's true, but even if it is, it is a sort of bipolar mix insecurity with hope and excitement.

The mid-life crisis insecurity doesn't have the hope and the rush in the same way. It has a lot more dread and angst.






The realization that you achieved as much as one could hope to achieve and you still didn't find contentment.

That's honestly, to me, the saddest thing about the mega-rich. They don't know when, or how, to stop. There's no goal state where they can say "ok I made it, I can turn it off and enjoy life now, or at least stop fighting tooth and nail to hoard even more bigger numbers."
