My take is that he's staying in the race to try to get a majority of pledged delegates
He's already said previously that he's gonna stay in the race until the convention.Given that this is essentially impossible for him, it's probably something else.

Okay. What on earth about Sanders' past leads you to believe this is just a money grab?
My take is that he's staying in the race to try to get a majority of pledged delegates, so he can point to the superdelegates that give Hillary the nomination and say "this system is whacked." And he'd be right.
And he is having the time of his life. He wants to go out in a blaze of glory. Both parties in the future are going to be a whole lot more careful about who they let run in their primaries, if the courts will allow it.He's getting close to retirement.
No it's not. He's about 270 behind with several more conventions to go.
That is correct, but there is a large, major, really important detail omitted from your post. To gain that many pledge delegates, he would need to win by huge margins the remaining contests, which is virtually impossible.

That's an insurmountable lead in a proportional primary system that's winding down. He's not going to win CA by 60 points. More than likely he won't win it at all.
I'm certainly not claiming it's realistic. However, if I had to guess as to his mindset, that's my guess. I don't buy calm's little conspiracy theory about a guy who's lived a relatively spartan existence in relation to his peers is suddenly going all Scrooge McDuck on us.

California is what it all comes down to, really.
He's been making six figures for three decades. His wife was a university administrator also making six figures.
"Spartan existence" is a bit strong.

Please don't tell me you're actually buying the bull**** the OP is selling...
