"La richesse, après tout, est une chose relative, puisque celui qui a peu, et veut moins, est plus riche que celui qui a beaucoup, et veut plus."

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine two people. One has a small house and an old car but is happy and doesn't want much more. Another person lives in a huge mansion with many luxury cars but always wants to have the latest gadgets and more money. Despite the second person having more material things, they are always feeling like they need more and are never truly satisfied. This quote means that real wealth isn't just about how many things you own. It's more about whether you are content with what you have. If you have fewer things but you are happy and don’t desire more, you are actually richer in a sense. On the other hand, if you have many possessions but always feel like you want or need more, you can’t really enjoy what you have. To apply this to your life, try to appreciate what you have and focus on your happiness rather than always wanting more. By doing so, you will feel richer and more satisfied with your life.
