    A documentary sometime last year I watched about "The rich and us" saw one gentleman admit that he sold his IT company and walked away
    He described his wealth as a burden, in that it put focus on this family, this was his discription.....Society is like an hour-glass, for those at the top nothing changes, same for those at the bottom nothing changes, it's the ones in the middle that get squeezed!!!

    Those at the bottom nothing changes to quote. REALLY, I know quite a few UK poor and how they survive is a mystery. Wealth as a burden is probably the man not the money in many ways. Not saying can't be true, in fact easy come easy go re money. The middle have to much striving to be more so karma maybe dictates here. But then then the West and Asia is so driven by more never being enough it's no surprise I guess. Life's short, maybe Happy fits somewhere....

    Health is Wealth, there's a lot of famous and rich people whose money couldnt buy them their health.
    The best thing to do with vast amounts of money is to give it away, the rewards are great and very good for your health and soul.

    Gates doing this plus Bezos said also but found it difficult. No wonder but he's being truthful.

    The Matrix bloke gives away lots of his earnings. That said many don't.
