During a trip to Hong Kong, the billionaire duo decided to grab lunch at McDonald’s. To Gates’ amusement, when Buffett offered to pay, he pulled out a handful of coupons.

Warren Buffett is a billionaire. But most of the super-rich suffer from spiritual poverty. He gets his meaning from saving a dime.

The rich feel poor because of GREED. No matter how much they have, their identity (“feeling good, important, secure”) depends on making and spending more.

Few people take a rational approach to money.

This would involve calculating how much money they need in relation to how much money they have, and how much money they make.

Rather, people tend to focus on their last 2%. Depending on their tax bracket, this may involve their last $100, $1000, $10,000, $10 million or $10 billion. They ignore their big bank balance or stock portfolio. They always feel poor.

Money is supposed to free us from material concerns. Paradoxically it does the opposite. We become its prisoners.

We are satanically possessed. This means we identify with money rather than our Divine soul. We are money rather than God’s personal representative on earth. The more money we have, the bigger and better we feel. These values are inculcated by our satanist-controlled mass media.
