Remember when at the height of the dot.com era, there was a new,form of psycological problem, called "affluenza", the guilt of having too much money, from the dot.com bonanza. I remember Rush, going ballistic about it. I was doing the same basically. I remember one guy saying he was happier, living in a dank, dark studio apartment, than living in some fancy condo. I wonder how he is doing now?

During the dot-com era, there was an even more serious form of a psychological problem called "financial idiocy." I heard it manifested a few times in callers to a financial talk-radio show who insisted to the host that from that day forward a company's earnings would no longer be a factor in its stock price.
"You heard it right there, folks," the host said (and you could almost see him shaking his head), "and you wonder why I am advising all of my listeners to cash out of this dot-com nonsense right now?"

Probably went bust and is living in a cheap studio apartment, thinking about how much he misses his fancy condo and wishing he weren't such an idiot.
