billionaires and little people

 Is it possible for a person to have a billion dollars and still be little people? Not sure.

Life on this planet is a massive deception. An atheist once told me how strange it is that we work so hard to provide for our old age and then die. This is a guy who would diligently put away retirement savings.

Here are a couple of thoughts on wealth.

• One thought is the more you have the better off you are. You can never have enough so just keep getting more. This will make things better and better for you. You don't know what happens when you die anyway so why worry about that? Worry about stuff that you can do something about, like getting more wealth.
• Another thought is you need some money to function. Once you have enough to get by on having more and more doesn't really change your overall life. If your only purpose in life is getting more, then you haven't had much purpose. So have enough money in order to do the basics, and then do the things that are important to you in life, which probably don't take much money.
