What did Thoreau mean when he said: for a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone?
Can you tell me what Thoreau meant when he said, "for a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone"?
Sure. Thoreau was emphasizing the idea that true wealth isn't about how much you own, but rather how little you need. The more you can be content with what you have and the less you desire material possessions, the richer you are.
