dec·a·dence
n.
1. A process, condition, or period of deterioration or decline, as in morals or art; decay.
2. often Decadence A literary movement especially of late 19th-century France and England characterized by refined aestheticism, artifice, and the quest for new sensations.
The connotation of decadent is unnecessary luxury to the point of decay in your morals. So it means stop indulging in yourself to the exclusion of morals and mind.

It means that there is more to life than just materialistic comforts. And that there are others around you, on whom the fortune has not smiled. It means to reach out and help someone who is not as blessed as you might be. Generally it means to stop being a show off and help others where you can.

Decadence usually means that you are living an immoral life style. Only you know whether or not you are.

Quit indulging and start giving to poor people. Rich people have no limit on how much they spend on meaningless things. The more money you have the more you want to throw it away on what's hot right now.

It could mean
- they think you're living too comfortably, luxuriously, or materially
- they think you're living a degrading and decayed lifestyle, not living up to your potential or moral capacity
- they're just being sarcastic, and saying you're having too good a time.

That you are indulging or over doing all the fun things in life, spending too much money, eating too much or the wrong food, too much sex, those type of things.

i intrerpret that to mean... stop living a corrupted life, or dishonest life. or they could just mean, stop living a life in a rich style?

decadence is when you indulge yourself in every whim. Everything you want, you get it...and most of the time, too much of it.
