Not a new idea, but just another visualization and reminder.
|
||
|
||
Wealth, feeling like you have plenty, is an equation.
|
||
|
||
Wealth = Have ÷ Need
|
||
|
||

||
|
||

|
||
needs.
|

|
||
Have 10 but think you need 100? You are poor.
|
||
|
||

|
||
keep looking for ways to need less and want less.
