My essay on Monday discussed the moralizing of wealth. It’s easy for us to decide how people wealthier than us should spend their money, that’s why I wanted to focus this question on how each of us should spend our money.

So I have a question for Elysian League members today: Do you feel you have a moral obligation to use your wealth for the greater good? Should others? And does it matter what income bracket you fall into?
