People look at me with such skepticism when i talk like this, i just don't want for crazy money. Sure i want some luxuries in life and want to be comfortable. But i don't have a clue what i could spend millions and millions on. Especially when there are so many suffering in the world.

But people just cant believe it when i say it. Honestly makes me feel like i grew up on another planet when i see the greed in peoples eyes as they cant cope with the idea that i would give my money away.

You can also point out how greater wealth tends to attract problems; just look at how many lottery winners end up losing their fortunes and sometimes even worse off than they were prior.
