14. Please describe your reactions/ideas to the following quote: "He does not possess wealth, it
possesses him."

Benjamin Franklin once said, "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him." I feel like he does posses wealth because you have the right to chose your future. I believe that if you set your mind to something, then you can achieve it only if you work for it. You cannot get what you want if you do not try. Anything is possible if you just believe. In my interpretation of this quote Ben Franklin is saying that you cannot simply become wealthy because wealthy finds you. I do not agree with this quote. I believe that you are the reason of how much money you have. If you choose a job that does not pay much it is on you that you choose that job.
