This is an interesting and enjoyable story, @dwixer. The contrasts are powerful between the "haves" and "have nots." I liked the determination your protagonist arrives at in the end - that it's not what you own, but what's in your heart that drives happiness.
This rich description is inspired:
He walked up into the old dilapidated building, cobwebs filled the space, broken woods and ceilings scattered on the dirty floor. Hanging on the wall was an old and wrinkled picture that captured his parents smiling.
