Answer: The correct answer is : Because I thought that money was given a better use throughout life, spending it, investing it or giving it away. He also believed that people who received inheritance did not know how to invest it and wasted money.

Explanation: In his essay entitled "The Gospel of Wealth" Andrew Carnegie believed that wealth should be given throughout life and wrote "the man who dies like that, rich dies dishonored."
