(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm sure you're 100% convinced you trust your morals, principals and values and nothing could ever compromise them, especially not money. I just find it a little hard to judge these guys when I dunno if I'd done the same as them or not.

Im a proven minimalist, so I got no doubt in myself. I feel like Id just have different problems if I was rich, not less. But I also don't judge the rich too harshly because a lot of the world guides us to believe money=happiness.

Is it really easy for us to say "values over money" when we not rich?

Yes, of course. It's really easy to criticize greed when you have no shot at that money yourself. Not to mention that it's healthy for people to be a little greedy for themselves...folks who constantly give and give for others often leave nothing for themselves.

I feel like Id just have different problems if I was rich, not less.

I'd have much less problems if rich. Really easy to live life when you never have to worry about money or going to a job ever again. All these people who claim your life gets worse when you're rich are idiots or need to see a shrink.

Values and morals are luxaries that those who are well off have.

Most of the rest of the world does whatever is necessary to get by.

This is obviously false right now. Most of the world acts like they truly think they're righteous.

At what point does money become more important than your morals and convictions though? Lebron is easily worth almost half a billion.

A lot of people with drug addictions would die in the first year of being rich. Sometimes getting what you want isn't always what you need.

Well based on CE, it should never be more important. But CE are broke people.

Well those that are worse off are taught this the hard way because we end up with the harsher punishments.

Are you really better for thinking all broke people are full of themselves? You're literally doing what you're accusing.
---

I just think more broke people are full of broken convictions, same as rich people.
---

Broke convictions are part of the human experience. It's just the loudest people end up looking the dumbest cause of it.
