This is meant to be an interactive discussion, I like to hear how you think on the very simple question of the factor that keeps the wealthy looking for more ways to make more money.

The wealthy are relentless in their pursuit for money, they are intentional about it, you read and hear regularly on the news about a new business or company that a known wealthy man around you is setting up, they are always up to something new, seeking more ways to increase their source of income. So I was thinking, what really pushes these people?

Could it be competition? Like competition among their fellow wealthy men, one trying to be wealthier than the other, but I heard that there is no competition at the top.

Is it fear of getting poor again? That could be a really good reason to want to keep working to get more money.

Is it just discipline? like they are already used to the habit of seeking methods to increase their income, the kind of discipline that got them wealthy and so they do not know how to relax after one successful business has been set up.

Could it be the expenses and lifestyle? like in trying to keep up with the bills they have that are big like maintenance cost for their PJ's and Yatch etc, they need to get more money to maintain the lifestyle.

What other reason could there be?

You're trying to ascribe one answer to something that has more than one answer or a combination of different answers that is unique to an individual. Ultimately the majority of people here are part of the capitalist "rat race" or something closely related to that, where we navigate the system around us in order to produce the best socioeconomic situation for ourselves. Often intelligence can play a part, which has to be learned from the right teachers and by having access to information. Some people have very creative minds or can handle the stresses of running a business more than others. However a lot of money is just inherited at the highest level and their children are helped into high paying careers like doctors and lawyers.

Indeed, every wealthy individual has their own set of reasons to "keep going".

Maybe some/a lot of them feel obliged to maintain their activity in getting more
wealthy in order to keep all the staff employed. Dont forget that the super rich
have got to the stage where they dont actually have to do much, they are capitalising
on their employees time.

Maybe its that while they are wealthy on paper they have to keep going in order
to fulfill business credit and loans. A lot of the time they borrow to expand and
expansion needs to make profit.

Maybe they have poured and dedicated all of their time building their wealth over
many years that they dont know any other life, it becomes their normal.

Maybe a common goal is to build generational wealth to pass on to future generations.

There are a few reasons!
