Money is never enough and the reasons for these are many, the thing is, people are spenders, this comes naturally. Wants and needs are endless and this is due to instability and the effect of change overtime on our choices.

In the past when fiat currency wasn't even a legal tender, people are overly expressive of their wealth status from the number of food factory the have, the number of wives they have, their traditional standings in the society and the value attached to them by what is being perceived of them.

This is to say we're spenders before we're earners and sometimes management skills cum financial education is often needed especially because having monetary discipline is something that takes a while for a person to cultivate and inculcate into their personal finance.

Because of how we're spenders first before earners, greed to own it all often comes into play. But then it there's anything like a mild form of greed, or a lesser version of it.

I believe its somhow imbued into people, influences their personal finances, it creates a kind of identity, it's a means through we as humans strive, become creative, discover new ways to multiply that which we already have, carve out streams of income and how to manage what's on ground for better profitability.
Nevertheless it becomes dangerous and unacceptable when it becomes "greed" in itself When there's an unfair distribution somewhere it's as a result of human actions tweaking the narrative in favour of some people rather than a more larger number of people.

But there's a question we often tend to never find an answer to and that is? "How much money is enough for me to live a comfortable life?"

Because people never find the answers to these questions, it becomes a motivation to even gather more and this is due to the fear of uncertainty, the uncertainty of being a natural big spender but never earning enough to continue being big spenders.

I see a lot of people spending to impress and not spending because they have a need, there are open markets in the world aimed to satistfy the queer desires and spending habits of many billionaires and while they spend ostentatiously on irrelevancies there will be of course need to make enourmous money to keep up with these habits.

Greed isn't something without a root source, greed is mostly deliberate and planned and most times it taps deep into our psycological tendencies to reveal so much about the people we truly are, finacially.

So many wealthy people are insatiable and this can be the reason why. Wealth sometimes is a mind game, there's a stage where it becomes too much it now becomes a controller, a means for power and affluence and not just performing the functions of a legal tender anymore.

When people begin to acquire money for this cause, they would need to cultivate unnatural means to actually actually acquire the kind of money and this is why. *Money takes care of your needs, wants and desires * but more money performs totally different functions. In the world we have many would are acquiring wealth to stay on top of the food chain.

This isn't to say its only wealthy people that have the tendencies to be greedy. Sometimes the fear of returning back to proverty makes some other people greedy. While the existence for the need to be transparent is what decreases excessive tendencies for greed. In the human society however we need a balance, an equilibrium and this would probably begin with each and every individual.
