I doubt most in the range feel that way, it's human nature.
I know a guy in that 1.5% pretty well. He drives a 13yo Ford pickup and changes his own oil. He has come to learn that more money=more problems, thinks he was happiest in college when he had no money and nobody counting on him everyday. He's thinking about giving most of it away and starting over because it was more exciting on the way up than being where he is. I think he's blurring the line between seeking happiness and finding insanity.
