How I understand the Parable of the Rich Fool

The way I interpret this verse is that you must spend your riches wisely, when you have far more than you need, you must invest your extras in serving your family and your society and the charitable causes or institutions you believe in and not hoard what you have for yourself. It’s okay to buy a Jeep but if you have money for a limo, you should get an SUV and donate your limo money to somebody else who has nothing and when rich, must share your gains with the world or with your family in a wise and conscientious way and you must consider yourself a participant of society and not as a reaper of benefits who only uses your gains for personal wealth, the rich man was not lazy, but he lacked gratitude and he tried to make his earthly life a paradise instead of focusing on the heavenly one so I say share what you have with others, even if it means you have to give up some of your wishes and dreams, because life is temporary but eternity is permanent.

If you have additional thoughts on this, I would be happy to listen to what you have to say. What are your views on this passage?
