if you grew up poor, shouldn't your main goal be to never be poor again?

I mean, there's no "shouldn't" but I know lots of people who grew poor and they aren't used to spending. And you look like one of the types who were poor and then became rich and wanted to make up for the times when they were poor.

But there're also people who were poor and when they start making good money, they save/invest it, to make sure they'll never be poor again.

Then again, you're probably on a different level than most people, so it would be hard for you not to spend the money on yourself.
