      How could anyone get $1,000,000,000 and think “I really need that another 700 times this year”?

      That’s

      • 1.9 billion dollars per day
      • 80 million dollars per hour or
      • 1.3 million dollars per minute

      I don’t think I could spend over a million dollars a minute for an entire year.

          People get treated for hoarding junk, but not for hoarding money.

          With bi-polar disorder, primarily depressive people will get treated, but primarily manic often won’t. When was the last time you went to the doctor and said “I’m feeling too good today. Life feels great even though it shouldn’t, and I want medication to feel worse”? *

          When a mental illness causes people to be successful, it’s rarely treated because it’s only harming other people and not them.

          * This example is an oversimplification and ignores the many real issues caused by manic episodes.
