A friend told me that lines. She told me I have a good living, no need to worry about money. I already have my own house, car and motorcycles. I am not a rich person tough.
But what else? Those are the basic needs for most people. No need to hard work, while in the other side, she must struggle to make money, she is selling some foods, she doesn't have a fixed income. Sometimes she gains benefit, sometimes she is loss. But she is healthy. She can do many things that I can't do.
Nevertheless, she made me feel lucky even I didn't get any job in an embassy.

@Shivram59 I agree, the more we make distance from the material things, the more peace we have

Many wealthy people have recognized that money, though useful and a necessary tool, we need to keep in mind what the Bible's advice is on this subject.
'For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. So, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content with these things.'
There's certainly nothing wrong with wealth - it really is the attitude towards it. If something is affordable and one's relationships are not harmed by it, its not wrong to enjoy the fruits of one's labour. It is even beneficial to be in a situation where one can share with others who may be in need. In fact, the Bible also says, "There's more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.'
