What do the Stoics say about money and wealth?
What the philosophers say

Seneca, one of the wealthiest men in Rome, argued that the wise person does not love wealth but accepts it; keeps it in the house, not in the heart; and is ready to see it go. The point is not to have nothing, but to need nothing.

Epictetus, who had been a slave, would have you check what you have handed your peace of mind to. If your contentment lives in your bank balance, you have given control of yourself to fortune. Keep it in what is actually yours.

Marcus, an emperor with everything, reminded himself that luxury and possessions are not what make a life good; character is. Use what comes, do not crave what does not, and waste no envy on the rich.
Try this
- Ask the ownership test: if I lost this tomorrow, would I still be at peace? Work toward yes.
- Pursue money honestly, but never make it the thing your contentment depends on.
- Practise voluntary discomfort occasionally, so that having less holds no terror.
- Use wealth well, on people and purpose, rather than hoarding it for its own sake.
