We see all around us today that those who reach for power and possessions in this life are never satisfied. This does not exclude the poorest among us as the Demon Spirit of ENVY is just as strong among the poor as among those who have attained great riches and power. The man of the world who has his portion in this life only is living for a world that is passing away (1 John 2:17) so that his "assets" become his burden.
