Been there, done that - kept my morals/ethics. I am retiring this year. Not as well off as maybe I could have been but I can look myself in the mirror and I sleep well at night. I have enough. Not as much as others who put money above everything, but enough. I also never need to worry about someone stabbing me or shooting me because my business caused loss to them. I don't have to worry that my partner or children are toxic and only want my money which often happens to people who don't have ethics or morals and are only out for the money themselves - like attracts like?
