Wealthy to me is that my family is healthy, happy and taken care of. Sometimes it's hard to put a dollar amount to that.

I think wealth is a dollar amount and a mindset.

The definition I think of is that wealth is being able to live your current lifestyle without having to work.

The mindset of wealth is gratitude - to be able to appreciate the awesome things and people in your life now. In my opinion, if you don't have an attitude of gratitude, you're not truly wealthy.

Wealth for me, is , 60% material and 40% self actualization

Wealth to me is spending less on luxary but instead goes to the basic necissities of life.My family is poor but my parents work hard in the farm to clothes their children properly,send us to good schools,buy foods only enough for us,keep money for unexpected expenses and when that unexpected,thanks God,didnt come,they invest them again in the farm. Now I got used to the family ways of being practical in using and spending money,thus I never suffer inadequately cause I know to be wealthy.

My family didnt have money when I was growing up either but I still remember the great times we had. We were happy and thats what counts right? I look back and I am actually kind of glad I wasnt one of the kids heading to disney land each year, because instead we would pack a tent and go camping, go on picnics at the beach or other low cost things that I grew to love. I still do these things with my own family now and would continue to do so even if I was a millionare. These things create bonds and memories that money itself can not provide.

Wealth to me is having enough to money to pay the bills and put food on the table and the rest is having a happy loving family. I would be just as happy out on a $20 camping trip with my family, sleeping in tents out in the woods as I would be with a million dollar mansion....in fact I think I would like camping more.

You can't let money control your life, if your unhappy when you dont have money you will still be unhappy when you get some. Money issues never go away it doesnt matter how much you got the problems just come in different forms.

Wouldnt you rather looking back and remember all the good times you had with your loved ones and not you stressing over money being tight?

True wealth I believe has nothing to do with money .
