A fool and his money 💰

A fool and his money are soon parted.
How true is that?
Is creating and holding money equal to intelligence?

What if giving has nothing to do with having,
What if you have a great family, friends and maybe a wonderful love life and no money,
What if you are content and don't measure success only in terms of money?
What if you chose to live simply and had  no need for a lot of money?
What if you were good and exploited?
What if you were cheated? After all only those you trust can cheat you!

A fool and his money are soon parted. 
How true is that?
Is it a belief we must have?
And pass on from generation to generation?
Am I a fool? Sure am, if a fool and his money are soon parted is the understanding.
