I am not afraid to be rich.
But I am not afraid to be poor neither.
And do we really have to be rich before we can help others?
How rich were/are these people?

Or are we all thinking that these people never ever really helped someone?
If money is that important well than I guess this website is about "the American dream" stage 2. Stage one is going for classic career. Stage one is for more creative career, but money, being rich and wealthy is still in the center your lives.
Your very own husband says that money doesn't give you power....so the power comes from a person not from the money a person has.
The most powerful people don't need to be rich to make a huge difference to make a contribution to the poor.
Just take a look at the "open source" community. Their contribution to the world is larger than the crap that Bill gates is selling. Now Bill just like you truly believes that he is making the difference as he does some charity.
Most programmers that work on open source things are not rich at all, but they contribute anyway.
And when I look to your "reading prices" yes you contribute to people, mainly rich people. As the poor could not afford a reading at your rates.
When people live at a certain wealth level and with the idea that they need that wealth to make a difference....they don't make a difference at all anymore...it is a sort of stagnation in your growth. You will still grow richer and maintain your wealth, but the contribution to the poor will only decrease.
Your price settings says it all.
And of course you have all these free articles. Articles that you just write to convince yourself that you are doing the right thing.
Now what value is there in reading a text that one wrote to convince himself or herself?
There is no need to grow rich to be able to help others.
Ask your guides if you are not sure, but your husband is your husband, not your guide.
