Most people want wealth because it means they won’t need to think at how to survive the next month.
I am poor and chose the latter. Own a small cheap cottage on the edge of a tiny rural village at the arse end of Australia (Tasmania) live simply and have a like minded parter. I quit work at 35 and am now 59, don’t get any goverment pensions etc have a small investment portfolio of shares i purchased back in the 1990s from working and live off the dividends.
I don’t want to be rich, as to even try to do so I’d have to compromise all of my morals to get there. I’m rich enough. I quit paid work as it wasnt for me. My only regret in life was not quitting work earlier, thats time I cant get back.
Fuck yeah. When you come into Melbourne hit me up and we’ll have a drink
I have no interest in power. I want wealth so that I can stop stressing out over money.
I don’t want wealth. I want things and to do activities that require money. If I could skip the money and just have the things and activities, I would be happy.
I want wealth so I don’t have an existential crisis every time I need to get my brakes done. Or my teeth prosthetics needs repair
I want wealth because I lack self love and wish I had enough money to buy it
I love you buddy
Unless you’re some kind of wierdo that doesn’t like the word moist or you think LeBron vs MJ is a reasonable comparison to make, knowing the game dynamics are completely different for their respective eras, or whatever.
I want wealth so I can build a better world for everyone else to live in, like building metro lines and libraries all over my city, affordable, mixed-use housing, and funding clean energy projects. We are not the same
Everyone give your money to me so I become rich so I can achieve my goals.

I want wealth so I can quit my day job and focus on creating art
May I suggest Michael Lucas’ ‘Cashflow for Creators’. While not exactly a must-read, personally it helped me a lot to actually map, plan and ultimately take the decision to tell the corporate world to get stuffed.
