Summary

This quote implies that in today's society, wealth is often measured by the accumulation of material possessions, regardless of their quality or value. It highlights how the focus on consumerism leads to equating richness with owning a multitude of objects, even if they are of low quality or do not bring true fulfillment or happiness. The quote criticizes the shallowness of valuing material possessions over other meaningful aspects of life, suggesting that true wealth lies in experiences, relationships, and personal growth rather than mere possessions.
