It's worth it for those who do it. There's a charming James Garner film called "The Wheeler Dealers", where Garner plays a Texas entrepreneur being followed around by a breathless female financial analyst trying to make sense of what he's doing. At one point he says "It's a game! Money is how you keep score!"
And so it is. For the folks playing that game, it's the journey, not the destination. They get off on the
process, and the result simply validates that they're doing it very well indeed. The point isn't becoming filthy rich: it's being a
winner. Becoming filthy rich is a side-effect.
