I'm all for working hard to reach dreams and trying to attain a better lifestyle.

I'm a little sad about those wanting to reach the "top of the world" because while it is possible to do so legally it usually requires making numerous sacrifices along the way : Time with wife, Time with children, Time for leisure and enjoyment. Also living too large makes huge pollution and waste.

I'm not saying what the balance is between arriving is at the top and living a nice lifestyle. That's what I'm hoping to get ideas from the people who post here :)
