As many have noted, not everyone aspires to wealth; a lot of people are happy with having just enough to live comfortably and go on vacation a couple times a year. The way I see it, (though I could be mistaken), wealth empowers individuals to engage in pursuits they value without external concerns. Exceptionally talented professionals (e.g., nurses, doctors, scientists, lawyers) are quite frequently rendered incapable of addressing issues they are passionate about due to financial constraints or bureaucratic indifference. Essentially, financial resources enable one to transition from being merely aspirational to being influential (contingent, of course, on the specific situation). Consider activism: many people strive to support their communities, but often, funding for such initiatives is lacking.
