I'm not really interested in big fancy houses, expensive cars, etc...I just want the means to be able to help people out who need it. For instance, a close family member of mine badly needs a better car. If I could, I'd take care of that.
There is a man I know who has made himself very well-to-do through entrepreneurship, and he has retired from his business to travel to various parts of the world (such as
India) to help people who need it most by building excellent schools, homes, and other buildings that Westerners really take for granted. Over there in that part of India, education isn't exactly popular, and most of the children grow up to participate in the "family business."
What I admire about him is he goes personally to supervise these building projects, he doesn't just give money to some random organization to "perhaps" use the money for what he gives it. I want to be able to do the same, someday.
