What is Stockpiling?

The compulsive need to accumulate savings far beyond what's practically needed for security. No amount ever feels like enough to relax. This behavior can prevent enjoying life's present moments while endlessly preparing for future disasters.

When you might feel stockpiling

Stockpiling is a specific form of hoarding, which itself is a type of scarcity. You might experience this feeling in situations where scarcity is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define stockpiling.
