Differences Between Wealthy and Poor

Money, it's something we struggle to live without. The less we ahve the more we want, the more we have the more we want, the more we have the more we spend. It's a vicious cycle. But imagine not having the money to buy food; imagine watching your children go hungry every night. Twenty-four thousand people die from hunger or hunger related diseases.

He inherited most of his money and has no idea what it is like to work at an actual job. I don't think he would know what to do if he were to lose his money. I believe the people who have worked themselves into
