I consider myself very wealthy. My health is good, my marriage is solid, my kids are raised up and doing well for themselves, I have never been out of work...ever. House is paid off and so are the two cars. I also have liked every job I've ever had whether it was as a dishwasher or a regional manager for a major corporation. Every job I've ever had is fun to do and go to and I've only had one sick day in 30+ years of working. Even mowing the lawn on Saturday afternoons is fun for me. Or even shoveling snow in the wintertime.
Many of my hobbies cost me very little money. I love to hike in the woods with my dog and it takes me about a year to rotate through all the trails in my area. I go to the library every Saturday morning and borrow 5-7 books a week to read...or just browse through. I have over 15,000 songs in my music collection and add to it every week at very little cost.
Yes, I consider myself very wealthy. The Dow Jones can go down to zero for all I care. I will still get up in the morning with not enough hours in the day to do all that I like to do.
You have the only kind of wealth worth having, Sam. Good for you.
