...there's no need for me to go overboard or if I'm already full at the buffet, there's no need for me to keep stuffing myself:

Seth Rogen Said He Doesn’t “Hoard” His Wealth Because He’s “Afraid” He’ll “Die With Too Much Money”

“I guess I’ve seen over time — and I’m just so not like this — money is a thing people really hoard and have a lot of pride in: the money itself. They wanna turn their money into more money, and love how much their money is making them, and how profitable their money’s money is — and that is just not how I think,” Seth said, admitting that he has “no desire” to be expanding his wealth by making his money “work” in other investments and assets.

People have approached me about putting my money in a CD account several times and I just say why would I do that when I'm already good where I'm at...??  ???

money is like the buffet To me. after 3 hours and  10 plates, and 5 bowls of soup and deserts, it's like why the heck ..I could have done a lot in 3 hours, wouldn't feel so bloated, and using the restroom so much later..all because I wanted to make it worth spending 49 bucks.  I could had spent 15 bucks for a big Mac meal and I'd be home 2 hours ago...lol

Yeah, even if I can afford it, can't see myself living in a huge mansion...

Charlie Munger Lived in the Same House for 70 Years—And Thought Fancy Homes Just Make People Miserable: 'Having a Basic House Really Helps You'
Before Charlie Munger passed away at 99 in 2023, he left behind more than legendary investment advice. He also left behind a modest home he lived in for seven decades—and a blunt message about why most people get it wrong when chasing "dream homes."

"In practically every case, they make the person less happy, not happier," Munger said in a 2023 interview with CNBC's Becky Quick.

He wasn't talking about starter homes. He meant the sprawling mansions, the luxury upgrades, the kind of houses people stretch their budgets for. According to Munger, "having a basic house really helps you. Having a really fancy house... doesn't do you that much good."
