wealth

	wealth

1. I have sons, I have wealth: thinking thus the fool is troubled. Indeed, he himself is not his own. How can sons or wealth be his?

2. To have much wealth and ample gold and food, but to enjoy one's luxuries alone -- this is a cause of one's downfall.

3. Riches ruin the foolish, but not those in quest of the Beyong (liberation) through craving for riches, the foolish one ruins himself as (if he were ruining) others.

4. Householders should divide their wealth into four portions: One for daily needs, two for saving or giving, one for emergencies.

5. One should spend reasonably, in proportion to his income, neither too much nor too little. He should not hoard wealth avariciously, nor should he be extravagant.
