Question What does wealth mean to you?

What is your definition of wealthy? Is it having a lot of money or having a lot of things? Why?

Well, the dictionary says that wealth implies abundance. Actually... I can agree with that, but it doesn't have to be just an abundance of money. It can also be an abundance of love in your life; be it from family or friends. It could also be an abundance of satisfaction from work, be it in a corporation, your own business, or if you're a home-schooling SAHM. So, in the end, maybe wealth implies in abundance of general satisfaction in life.

I agree. It's not being rich but living the way you want to live without having to worry about finances.

in modern terms, wealth is measured in money.. being able to afford excess goods or services without having to borrow.

Wealth, to me, means freedom.

Today I count myself a wealthy man.
