Because most young people think of being Wealthy as having the most money. While I, at almost 40 think of Wealth as having a large loving family.
Amen, brother! I, at over 70, feel the same. I have five children and (so far) four grandchildren, and they are my greatest earthly treasure.
I am also quite wealthy, because for the past 15 years I have saved over half my takehome pay. It's not that hard to save money: I just follow the wisdom told to me by my best financial advisor: "Pay cash, or go without". Thank you, Grandmother.
