I mean, why don't more people act like Dolly Parton when they get rich?

I often wonder this same thing. I wouldn’t want nineteen cars and a ginormous house. I know that nothing I could buy would be as emotionally fulfilling as helping others.

the truly baffling thing is how all the rich people do the same boring things with their money, surely if you want to splurge on luxury you'd have a fucking hobbit village constructed in some nice hills?
