About wealth

In order to smooth out the impressions of this topic a little, as well as a little as an answer to the question "What to do?"

I know that you have seventy million. But we all know that a person is rich not when he has big money, but when he has enough money. And while he longs to increase his capital, he is not yet rich. Even if he has seventy times seventy million, they still do not make him rich, while he languishes with the desire to accumulate more. My money would probably only be enough to buy the worst horse from your stable, but I can say honestly that I don’t need more than one horse. So I'm rich. And you! You have seventy million, but you certainly need five hundred, and you sincerely suffer because of this. Such poverty is simply terrifying. Honestly, I’m unlikely to be able to live a day under the heavy burden of despicable thirst to get another four hundred thirty million. That would kill me. Your unfortunate misery so depressing me,
