Once you have accumulated "enough" you must therefore find a way to satisfy that mechanic differently because it will still be your driving instinct regardless of whether or not it is necessary.
I absolutely read what you said and thought i was responding to it. I just think we're using the word scarcity different. Because if it's a universal mindset then it follows you will never accumulate "enough." Enough is relative. So you are still motivated by the same basic drive. To earn more. To accumulate more. It's just the actual stakes of failure are less drastic as to go up the financial totem pole.
