lets say someone makes a million dollars and doesn’t say enough and wants ten million dollars, why isn’t the person making ten million dollars??
lets say someone makes ten million dollars and doesn’t say enough and wants a hundred million dollars, why isn’t the person making a hundred million dollars??
OK, let us make a distinction between the word “want” and “need”. People might know what they want (millions of dollars) but they don’t know what they need. Only Hashem knows what a person truly needs. But in reality, everyone should only want what they need, anything extra would probably just make them more unhappy (marba nichasim marba daaga) and would also possibly take away zchusim in Olam Habba. I’m not saying that anything more than bread and water is extra, some people need more, some need less, everyone is created differently and Hashem knows everyone’s feelings, emotions, needs. As wolfishmusings said above, high income does not equal wealth, it is different for everyone. Some peopel need to live in a fancy house and drive a fancy car, it is part of their teva and Hashem knows this. Others might be just as happy to have that extra money in the bank to pay their monthly bills.
The pasuk says “poseach es yadecha umasbia l’chol chai ratzon” Hashem gives everyone his “ratzon”. Assuming this is referring to the person’s ratzon and not Hashem’s, this means that Hashem gives a person what the person wants, but we know that not everyone has what they want. But, that is only with our limited understanding, Hashem knows what we really “want” in the long run even though we don’t know. If you think about it carefully (which I doubt chesedname has the ability to do on this subject) “want” and “need” are really the same thing and we, with our limited understanding of the big picture, don’t fully know what it is that we need/want. Hashem does know, and he gives that to us.
