The more usual psak is that this would be a mitzvah perhaps for the
first year of "poverty". There is ni mitzvah to keep a formerly rich
person in his previous status for ever. The mitzvah is to wean him
slowly into the real world.

Heard this at a recent shiur but there was no source given.  Does anyone
know of one?
