“The money you own is not yours to abuse, it’s an active part of the global economic vehicle, which means, even a slight abuse on your part will lead the vehicle to malfunction, so use as little as possible based on your actual needs and give the rest back into the society in whichever way you see fit.”

“If you need to buy a cell and you have a thousand dollars for it, then instead of wasting the entire thousand dollars on one phone, use three hundred dollars for it, and with the rest buy some food and clothes from street vendors and distribute them among the homeless people in the block. This way you are not only buying a cellphone, but also empowering small businesses as well as helping the poor. And that’s the way to end economic disparities.”

“You cannot simply waste money on the newest model of the iPhone, when countless homes across the world can't even afford electricity. You cannot simply have food fights in the name of fun, when countless people across the world don't even have two wholesome meals in a day. You cannot simply waste a ridiculous amount of money on fancy suits, dresses, wines, cars and mansions when our very own kind is suffering on a daily basis round the clock.”

“Whenever you have some extra money and you think of buying something fancy, ask yourself, do you really need that product, or are you just trying to fill the holes in your life with more possessions? If your conscience tells you that you don't really need it, then use that money to empower a small local business in some way, or perhaps raise some funds among friends and help someone in your neighborhood to set up a business or use those funds to fix the problems of your neighborhood. Find out where the money is needed most and use it there.”
