The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“Like Warren, I had a considerable passion to get rich. Not because I wanted Ferraris—I wanted the independence. I desperately wanted it. I thought it was undignified to have to send invoices to other people.”
- Charlie Munger, quoted in Roger Lowenstein, Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist (1995)
