I also think a question should be "Who do you want to say F*ck You to?"
Probably the typical, average middle-class American? (the old bosses, "haters", jealous peers, etc)
The more money you make, the less you care about "stunting" on average people. I don't care anymore about the "small stunting and privileges between what a $40k salary can get you versus what a $60k salary can get you or any of the small middle-class marginal things like an extra trip during the year than another can get."
Actually; as you approach breaking the $300k mark.. I found it to be the complete opposite, meaning...
The more money I've made, the more I wanted to "hide" how much money I truly make from friends & family & old social circles because I didn't want to make them feel bad about themselves and compare themselves to me. Especially my male counterpart peers in the late 20's and early 30 stages as suicide rates & depression for males are very high here, and my suspicion is "life progress comparison" being a big part of it.
Always remember too that there is ALWAYS someone richer than you doing something you can't do or driving something you can't. Always..
A hundred-thousandaire can say F*ck You to average middle class but get F*ck You'd by a millionaire.
A millionaire can say F*ck You to a hundred-thousandaire but get F*ck You'd by a hundred-millionaire.
A billionaire can say F*ck You to a multi-millionaire but get F*ck You'd by a hundred-billionaire.
