Truth is, my dad would have enjoyed a more comfortable (and longer) retirement had he ever been satisfied with what he had and built on those modest successes rather than always trying to turn them into things that were truly over his head.
The consequences? Multiple bankruptcies, wrecked relationships, etc. A building in Seattle he held the paper on back in the late 1970s is worth millions today, but he couldn't hold on to it for more than a couple of years.
