Only catch, you can’t use your wealth to fix th system, donate it or give it away. It’d only be for yourself.

    Define donate or give away.

    I’ve mentioned before that I help run a small music festival, and that it’s to help my local area. Raising money for that is a lot of work and takes a lot of energy. Pumping some money in would massively help the festival, which would help me. Would that count as donating, or would it be selfish because it helps me?

    On a similar note, my area is quite poor. If I set up a factory with offices and other facilities that employed the low and unskilled workers at decent living wages, and included child care and employee training and education, would it still count as giving the money away if I made a profit, even if a small one?

    I would be a bit selfish though, I’d build a house and some outbuildings on a large plot of land and soundproof everything completely. I function better at night, but still want to fix up my motorbike and do some woodworking, and I don’t want to wake the neighbours.
