You don’t want to climb Everest, congratulations. Do you ever take a vacation? Bring your kids? Money that could have gone towards climbing Everest. I don’t personally get it either, but for plenty of people it’s a life long dream and the fact is you don’t need to be obscenely wealthy to do it. Just because you’ve decided you’re living life by some proper metric doesn’t make you right. If I had a goal like climbing Everest I’d certainly prefer to retire a couple of years later and actually do something in life.
Also if you’re actually making $400,000k+ (which is apparently what top 3% is for the US), maybe don’t be such a miser and help spread some of that around. Pay a local mechanic to work on your car. Hire a maid to clean once in a while
