About This Quote
This day and age, people want to be rich. They want to be able to do whatever they want without having to worry about money. They also need to be able to spend money on themselves and their families. However, the real meaning of this quote is that you should not really wish for money.
If you are rich, then you are already very happy with what you have accomplished in your life. If you are not, then it is more likely that you are holding on to wealth for others instead of yourself. You need to figure out what is important to you and start making that happen.
