Guilt is the ultimate enemy for anyone who want to acquire wealth... and here is how I dealt with that...

I have been fortunate enough to acquire a considerable amount of money... however, I never considered that the money was mine... it is simply something that has been put in my care for some time so that I could manage it...

That way, I have no fear of losing that money... it's not mine in the first place... I don't feel guilty... I own nothing... I can make some people happy when I give it to someone for things like cars, clothes, jewelry for my wife of whatever... and I get to use those things as much as I want without feeling guilty... because they are not really mine in the first place... they are just on loan until I get rid of them or croak...

It's all on adopting a point of view that leaves you off the hook... that's mine and it works for me...
