I think that subplot in the beginning of him getting screwed out of the company or his friend getting rich and not him, thats the key. Its about more than the money.
Walt probably felt (whether it was justified or not)-that he was too good for the life he wound up with, too smart.
He was bitter. He felt cheated.
Once he started to get a taste of money and power, his head blew up.
And even when he had a chance to get out of dealing, he couldnt stay out for long.
