Dear student : You are intended to find out about What Charles believes and thinks of his new lifestyle.
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I don't, says Charles Gray
Sixteen years ago, Charles was a collage professor with a huge six-bedrooms house and a fortune of $2 million. Today he lives in a small caravan where there is only second- hand furniture. There is no signs that Charles was a rich man! There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees. Charles grows some vegetables and a few flowers. He gets his clothes and a lot of other things from charity shops. But this change is not a tragedy. Charles was happy to give up the lifestyle of a rich man. He was tired of being a person who had everything in a world where many people have nothing. He made the choice to give all his money away. And this, he says, has brought him happiness.
' a few years ago.' Says Charles, " I was a millionaire, but I knew there were a lot of hungry people in the world." So he gave away all his money to charities. When he had two thousand dollars left, he gave away small bank notes in the streets of local poor areas. Charles believes that many people want to earn a lot of money so that they will not have any worries. However, most people never make much money. Charles Gray decided to drop out and has discovered that having only a little money makes you free. Are there any things he misses? " no, I'm much happier now. I wouldn't go back to being rich for anything – no way."
