19: Surplus Wealth

"…There is no mode of disposing of surplus wealth creditable to thoughtful and earnest men [and women] into whose hands it flows save by using it year by year for the general good…"

This week, I’m reading quotes from the Gospel of Wealth by Andrew Carnegie, published in 1889.

Reflection questions:

  • When you consider your financial means, are you paying attention to how you are using your surplus above moderate wants?

  • No matter your age, have you decided how you will leave your wealth?
