All faiths try to give guidance on issues of inequality in society. Sikhism teaches that everyone is equal and people living in poverty should be helped.
Wealth refers to the amount of money and possessions someone has. Unfortunately, wealth is not evenly spread around the world and this means that some people are extremely wealthy, while others go through life with too little money to live on.
People can acquire wealth in many different ways including:
receiving an income from working for someone
starting their own business
inheriting money, possibly from the death of a loved one
