Wealth guilt

Lots of great points Conwy. I like the idea of having an allocated amount.

I listened to the podcast with Peter Singer. I love how he is radical in his philosophy but also realistic in what he expects people to do. Certainly challenging to the idea of FI!

Yes and more further thoughts--wealth is built by doing the best you can with what you have. For some in poorer countries this is change measured in generations, like the great wealth built in other countries over generations. Outside help can be helpful, but it can also reduce internal pressure that actually effects change.

I also loved the podcast interview. So much to think about, and, more importantly, so much more I can do for my community and the planet. My mind is exploding with possibilities.

Honestly, I don't think discomfort at inequality is something you should ever get over. I don't think we should all be expected to live at a global poverty level, and I also don't think we should become okay with the fact that many others don't get a choice in the matter. I suggest doing what good you can to soothe that discomfort, but also accepting that feeling it is part of being a moral person in an unfair world.
