RE: The More Money, and Things That we Acquire The More we Want.

in #life7 years ago

It is also much harder for certain people to get ahead in life. I don't think all rich people are just better at getting rich. I grew up in poverty, horribly abused, and am now physically disabled. I work hard constantly but I have obvious disadvantages.

But my point was more that once you have a certain amount of wealth I really do think it becomes excessive and I don't think it brings happiness. I think greed is a big problem and I literally would never want a Porsche. I would want reliable transportation but I don't want really expensive things. I want to help people struggling.

Obviously this is shaped by my upbringing but for me personally a live with extreme wealth doesn't make me envious. I would like to be helping people and living in moderate comfort. :)

My dream is to open a home for abused teens and adults that helps them heal through art. I want money for stuff like that not fancy cars.
