Working in finance, I feel guilty that all my long hours and efforts aim to basically make rich people richer. In this consumer-driven capitalist society, we all play a role giving more power to the privileged, hence expanding the gap between socio-economic classes . Many of us don´t have another choice, as we need our jobs in order to survive or even fulfill basic needs. I hope one day, society will wake up and realize how unfair, and ineffective this outdated economic system is. In my opinion true prosperity is reached when you give without expecting something in return, and if you give-back even if your resources are scarce that´s more enriching than buying/owning a luxury item.
