    Wealth is excess in my opinion.
    No wealthy family actually needs that money.
    Struggling people and countries around the world need that money.

    I entirely understand wanting to live a great life and how money plays a part in that, but there is a dollar amount at which one simply has too much money and can't possibly be putting it to good use unless it's being spent on trying to help those in need.

    money only has the power you give it...money is actually just a printed piece of paper...that is highly valued, that's it...
    last time i check, everything is actually free...water don't cost a damn thing...fruits & vegetables don't cost a damn thing to grow, a cow don't cost a damn thing to ? ...clothes don't cost a damn thing to make...you can make a house for free... we're being charged for things that are in actuality are free...
    4 example, if the powers that b, say them green dollars don't mean ? , and that the new forms of currency are rocks, than them green federal notes won't mean a thyng, and ? will start shooting ? over rocks...

    I'd venture to say that anything more than a billion at the outside would be excess.

    Honestly, no one really needs that much money for themselves or their family really. Earned or not.

    I'm not seeing how this was relevant to what I said, but I agree with you.

    this is my ? and he was droppin knowledge. money is a necessary evil in my opinion. The people who have it want more, those who dont will do anything to get it. i feel like blacks spend our money on ? that has no value or relevance down the road. i am the lsat one to talk cuz i'm a sneaker head but them ? arent worth anything after you leave the store. we have to try to keep the circulation of black money in our neighborhoods and take back some of our black owned areas(like black hair stores and bodegas).

    and to homie that said everything in life is free... ? . you need money to buy land, the cow that you will slaughter, the fabric that you will make into clothing... see where i'm going. i agree that the spending we do as a community is asinine, but to say that you can make it in life without a single penny is ? . maybe you were just exaggerating to prove your point but that just irked me lol.
