That's why you need to become 1% people where they don't care about needs/desire, they're focus to make money and money even though they can afford to fulfill their needs/desire.

Actually this is a modern problem because many young people are obsessed to impress other people with their achievement that mostly related with money. If you can escape from this, you're high likely will happy.
That won't solve your insatiable desires. As @philipma1957 already mentioned in a previous post and is also the point of this thread, our desires are insatiable; thus, even if you're a wealthy person with an abundance of money, you'll still want more and more. That's what the OP is mentioning: that despite how much money we have, we're never satisfied. How is gaining more going to solve it?

I'd also like to add that we also never appreciate what we have until we don't. I worked a job I didn't like and lived in a house that I then cursed without appreciating the benefits of both, although they also had significant drawbacks. But now that I've lost them, I can understand how ungrateful I was. I'm generally satisfied if I have a decent-paying job and an average apartment that's comfortable for me and my partner, but the reality is that due to our human nature, we always crave something a little better.
