I agree that we should cultivate the habit of simple living even if we have lots of money; we should not use dishonest means of making money.

Dear Avainsh Ji,
How are you?
Even though your statement "spend it in good cause" looks great, for me the only real good cause is my own liberation [ as well i dont have much to spend either]
Any other cause like feeding people, clothing them, giving them shelter etc., does not appear good to me, since it just gives them a false sense of comfort for a short time, in which they get more children and push them also in to misery.
Yes i can think of two good causes--
1)The spread of spiritual knowledge and removal of material ignorance, however i think it is quite difficult to do myself, and i don't belive in donating any organization for doing this since i doubt their capacity and intention.
2) Health care-- particularly which reduces the pain and suffering (not the one which increases the life time), so that people can concentrate on God and the pain doesn't block their concentration
Since other points you yourselves had agreed there is no need for arguments.
