Some say that the most important thing about being rich is that one has the opportunity to help others. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

#say #opportunity
Having an abundance of fortune totally has a lot of advantages. One of them is being able to be more philanthropic. I personally agree with
this
 statement and will try to explain the reasons.
Firstly
, being rich means you would have to consider less about your daily and obligatory expenses,
such
 as food, taxes, electricity, and so on. Those primary necessities will already be covered and
hence
 it is easier to sympathize with others who haven't fulfilled their primary needs and eventually help them.
Secondly
, to have a lot of money means you are more privileged to decide on your action or
life
 choices. When you can do almost everything with your money for your
