In regard to acquaintances
I have a wide circle of rich acquaintances of which most want to pay all their riches for something they have not got , and I am sure I must have seen women riding in luxury cars in fine clothes but with sadness past happy women laughing or singing at their hoom doors.
Can I say I make acquaintances with many rich men ?
Can I say "but with sadness " as above shown ?
If there is other mistake in my sentences, please point out to me, thanks.

The whole thing needs to be rewritten. Much of it is unclear, and "hoom" is not a word. Rewrite it in a clear and simple manner, and use more than one sentence if necessary.

I tried to paraphrase the following
I know more than one rich man who would give all his riches for something he has not got, and I dare say you have seen women who wear fine clothes and have sad faces, but who ride wearily in motor cars past happy women laughing and singing at their cottage doors.

teechr"hoom" is not a word.Not anymore anyway. I believe it was the word for "home" in Chaucer's time. Nevertheless, in the current context, it may well be a typo.
