For Stoics a “indifferent” is something that does not contribute, or detract, from our character. Being wealthy or poor doesn’t make you a good or bad person. Wealth, therefore, has value, other things being equal, but it is not a true good. The only thing that falls into that category is virtue.

I appreciate the appreciation!
