Maybe he was giving a message for those blessed with wealth.
I have not been blessed yet with wealth but am happy for those who have been blessed and do not look at how they are spending their money – that would be envy. May Hashem bless every Yid with wealth, in a Jewish sense and physical sense .
Now, with so many Yiddishe businesses are hurting – it a mitzva to support them
