You say, oh, I wish I had a million.

You say, I want to get a Ferrari, and then my problems will be all okay.
You get the Ferrari, you drive it around for a while, it becomes your new normal, and then it becomes a drug of choice, and you want the next Ferrari.

Let's say you've had a bad year.
Let's say you've had a bad decade.
