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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warren Buffett is a billionaire. But most of the super-rich suffer from spiritual poverty. He gets his meaning from saving a dime.<\/p>\n

The rich feel poor because of GREED.\u00a0No matter how much they have, their identity (“feeling good, important, secure”) depends on making and spending more.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Few people <\/strong>take a rational approach to money.<\/p>\n

This would involve calculating how much money they need in relation to how much money they have, and how much money they make.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0They ignore their big bank balance or stock portfolio. They always feel poor.<\/p>\n

Money is supposed to free us from material concerns. Paradoxically it does the opposite. We become its prisoners.<\/p>\n

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