Great post as usual! I've never had a whole lot of money cause I'm a giver. I'm comfy in my own life and my family does not go without but having a surplus I've never had. They say money doesn't buy happiness..... I firmly believe that but I also believe it makes life a whole lot easier. To bad that 80 people in the world have and hold over half the worlds wealth? Crazy huh..... lot less to divvy out to the rest of us.

That is surely something I won't ever be able to understand.
Well I see how these things work in a smaller stage here on the islands where everything is ruled by curruption. The island where I'm living on is experiencing an incredible growth in tourism. However, the so generated wealth is distributed among a few people. That's why you have a booming economy on one hand, but a stagnant (or even decreasing) living standard on the other hand.
While regular people don't find a place where to live anymore since all residential blocks are converted into touristic accommodations, the castles of the most powerful grow bigger and bigger...
It's fascinating and scaring at the same time.
Thanks for your valuable and inspiring thoughts, as always it's been a pleasure reading them :-)
Have a great weekend!
