RE: How Much Money Is Enough?

in #life8 years ago (edited)

value is subjective. For the businessman who wants to employ and give jobs to as many people as he can for example, his dream might require many millions more than I would aspire to achieve, because he wants to use the wealth to maintain a business for example. Maybe he wants to pass it to his children so they too don't have to struggle like he did? :)

I know one elderly man for example who has a LOT of wealth and he still shops for sales and never goes out and enjoys his money.. he just hoards it.. and I feel bad for him, he won't even splurge and take his partner out.. it's like he is scared/living in fear too afraid to spend the money, this is a man who grew up in unimaginable amount of poverty and lived through the depression tho so maybe that is why..he used to walk through the snow for many miles to get to school wearing paper bags for shoes. You wanna talk about struggle. This man has worked hard all his life though and he deserves every penny he has and I don't despise him for having more than I do.
