It's a Ponzi scheme. Intellectually you know this is true but you are in denial. You are not alone. Reality is bitch and sometimes it is ok to delude yourself. The problem is when people delude themselves on a public web site.

Still makes me mad that SS was used for other besides what it was meant for.
