      To have the freedom to do whatever you want, not to do what someone tells you to (job). “Rich” starts here, at least for me. Everything beyond that is added bonus.

        How about building a society where you have a freedom to do meaningful things without having to amass wealth?

          To accomplish that, you would need power. In this capitalist society, power comes from money.

              No lottery-money that has ever been paid out would be enough for that. To really change the world you’d need at least unlimited funds like musk & co. And if you’d have those kind of funds, you probably long stopped caring or just changed your mind.

        How about building a society where the poor don’t have to rely on donations from the rich?

          I agree that idealy no one would have to donate to the poor, but we don’t live in a society like that so if you have spair money you don’t need or want you might as well donate.

          And if you still don’t want to donate to the poor then you can donate to other projects like funding renewable energy initiatives or open source software.

            I do live in a society which has social security programs based on a shared taxes instead of relying on donations from rich. Same with offering base human needs like free healthcare and free education.
