I want wealth to be an indicator of a well-rounded member of society, instead of its current role as a proxy for sociopathy.
Also, how about relabelling excessive financial accumulation as something along the lines of ‘financial obesity’.

Nah I definitely want both. My current hobbies are expensive. My dream hobby of getting a pilots license and a small plane would be really expensive.
So you want the freedom of getting a pilots license and a small plane.
i just want a small property with a yard and a couple trees and room to grow some plants and tinker on projects
if only i didn't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on avocado toast in my 20s
We can, but it requires not having billionaires.
No more billionaires, but everyone can be a millionaire.
The shortest path to equality is to greatly reduce taxes on the middle class and increase them on the wealthy.
It puzzles me why leftist parties don't all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.
Not sure what your point is old man, but I can't get the freedom that the rich enjoy without being rich.
Deluding myself into a state of bliss when the mortgage is due doesn't help anyone, especially me.
What if ... there were no rich people?
Then there would be no reason to go above and beyond.
You're saying all human ambition is based on money-hunger and thankfully that is false.
Not all, but a majority of labor people do is to make money. What reason do I have to work extra hard for if not for financial gain?
That’s a Bingo!
