Our needs are overwhelmingly met to the point that all we have left are wants. That's why we're on a forum dedicated to a very expensive hobby (even if you factor in cheap Chinese knockoffs) where people pour a ton of disposable income into something that will sell for a fraction of the price later on. |

Wealth is the point at which needs are immaterial and wants are nearly universally covered.
The point at which I consider a person to be wealthy typically starts at the $30 million mark and goes up from there. |

I think it would be shitty to be financially wealthy. If you could do or buy whatever you wanted then it would take the fun out of dreaming about one day owning this or that.

Want a McLaren F1 as your next project car? Perhaps a S2 Elan coupe build? Maybe an M3 V8 in a '69 RS/SS Camaro? I've met a lot of truly wealthy dudes who live bitchin' lives going places and doing things we just can't afford. Also, kandyflip, is that your definition of wealthy? |

Being surrounded by real friends, and the ability to buy things you want or need without ever having to worry about being able to afford it.
Money doesn't buy happiness but it buys things that can make you happy and provide life experiences and enrich yourself and others. I believe life experiences are things that truly make you "wealthy." |

To me, wealth is not having the stress or worry to get by week to week, or even day to day.
For example, my main financial goal in life, is to be able to afford MORE time to not be at work. Of course I would probably spend more money on a car or material items. But being into cars more would allow me to go to more events, whether it be a local meet, or a track event, or even just meeting with a few close car buddies for lunch/dinner. I am closer than ever to replacing my 9-5 job with the making my own money.(I have been investing in various markets for years) Basically, wealth to me is being able to do more of what you WANT to do, rather than doing what you HAVE to do. Now that's not saying I just walk around and do whatever I want, whenever I want. But I think you get the idea |

This how I look at it:
Wealth = a combination of: 1. Lack of exposure (debt + overhead) 2. Cash flow 3. Cash reserves + value of all your property Get #1 right first, you'll be safe Get #1 and #2 down and you're getting somewhere Get all 3 together and you begin to build wealth.

Wealth to me: The ability to do anything anytime successfully without restraint
Knowledge in my world is often worth more then money. Knowledge gets money, and bypasses the need for money.

You boys and girls want to know what wealth it? Wealth should simply be define by the power a person holds. Who are the top 1%? The most powerful and richest people in the world. It's about power.
