@ "MCNP" :
...Not sure what you mean by "you people", but if you're going to drop a name or epithet on somebody, at least know how to spell it...I for one can say I'm not "jelous", but you could say I'm "insanly" in love with life, art, music, writing, women etcetera, and of course not always in that order. And you don't have to have the accumulated wealth you apparently have to enjoy anything on my list.
Everyone's got their own list. If I had an insatiable compulsion or "need" to collect houses I wouldn't necessarily call myself morally reprehensible if I left all of those houses stay empty while I was "on sabbatical" in south France, Singapore, Amsterdam or Zurich.
But I would think (and care) about the homeless and disadvantaged I left behind in my "dirt poor background", not because I'm a communist; and just maybe in my absence, let a few of them, or maybe let out to local orphanages the use of some of the empty spaces I've obsessively accumulated over my pitiful journey through money.
I'm not a religious nut. But in fact, I probably have more "religion" in my pinky toe than any of the religious nuts out there. And I do know when Jolly Ole Grim Reaper sits at your poker table, he won't give a tinkers damn about your houses and cars. No bargain chips there for Him. The Black Void ain't got no need for your houses and cars.
Funny thing is, you probably think that's " a long ways away".
No, not jealous. Not morally reprehensible.
But I do have a word for you. I have a word because...I know how I would feel if I just left all those houses empty for indefinite periods of time, so long as there is one child homeless on this beleaguered planet.
I have a word for you because I know how I would feel. And I know how to spell it too.
I'd feel like a jerk. That's J-E-R-K. Jerk.
You got plenty of mirrors in your houses I'm sure, but I doubt you see yourself in any of them.
Me. I have to live with myself. And that's OK. More than OK. When I can share, I share.
Doesn't hurt me at all.

ONE LESS THAT WILL PAY
I think you are living in the wrong country. My family is not well off or really even comfortable but it will be nice when I get there. One million dollars these days is not really
jack. "lets line them up and shoot them." What planet are you from. I would much rather run over you while you are broken down on the side of the road while driving your 1977 AMC grimlin. You moron

@ "One Less That Will Pay"
The Japanese government used to have a cap on personal income...don't know if it still applies, how high the cap was or even if they still have it...

"Gold Watch Blues"
Mick Softley,
Performed by :
Donovan
(1965)
"I went up for my interview on the fourth day of July.
Personnel man he questioned me until I nearly cried,
Made me fill in forms until I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer.
Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane.
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line
And work for fifty years.
He asked me how many jobs I'd had before.
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered, four.
Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can never be
We only take on men who work until they die.
Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane.
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line
And work for fifty years.
He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line.
This is where we bury them in quick-stone and in lime
And if you come to work for us on this you must agree,
That if you're going to die please do it during tea.
Here's your gold watch and flowers for your grave,
And your piece of paper that says you weren't a slave.
And if you've a son who wants a good career,
Just get him to sign on the dotted line
And work for fifty years.
This story that you heard you may think rather queer
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear.
I did not want no job upon the board,
I just wanted to take a broom
and sweep the bloody floor.
Here's your gold watch and flowers for your grave,
And your piece of paper that says you weren't a slave.
And if you've a son who wants a good career,
Just get him to sign on the dotted line
And work for fifty years."
