Many people suffer with the consequences of extreme poverty, particularly in the developing world. Many Catholics believe that people should use their wealth to help those who have less.
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
