He had great wealth.

I've been thinking a lot about materialism and how we spend our money.

For the past two years I've been your generic broke college student. The most expensive thing I've bought myself was my Anatomy book. Pretty lame buy huh? But having no money to go out all the time or buy the newest technological gadget has helped bring me a fresh perspective.

There are so many things that we just don't need, yet we buy. We waste money on buying movies, games, clothes, etc.. Aren't there things out there that are more important for us to use our money on instead of a new phone, when we already have a phone? How do we justify some purchases when some people don't even have a meal in their bellies? I guess we, myself included, just ignore those in need and spend our money anyhow. I dunno. This issue is wrecking me.

Don't get me wrong though. Some things are necessary to buy, such as a ticket to the new Indiana Jones movie.
