I think the question could be summarised as, how much is “enough”? Is it enough to live on? Enough to feel secure that you know you could pay for that big ticket item? Is that big ticket item the necessity you need or have to pay for?
And for that, alot of people have different lines that are deemed enough.
Exactly. Everyone has their own line. Some people are content to sit in the woods and live off of the land. Some people are content living a life of bartering without as many interesting things to spend their time with. The majority of people are not content no matter what they have. They are always looking for a way to get more than they have now, however much it is.

The trick to justifying extinction level greed is to ask people to draw a fine line between needs and wants.
You are not wrong. But there are a lot of people who would draw the line either before or after extinction level greed.
