Before someone gets cute and post the definition..

Define what you think wealth is and what it means to you.

Go.

Felipe

2. an abundance or profusion of anything; plentiful amount: a wealth of imagery.

that covers some what every thing.

i think you should define wealth, since you're the one who knows what wealth is.

I know what wealth is to me. I want to know what YOU think wealth is to YOU.

its not just how much money you have its how much stuff you have liquid assets and all that stuff

Otto347

you could have a "wealth" of knowledge. just because you have "stuff" doesnt mean youre wealthy.

No one is starving here. No one is without the basics.

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.

You no longer have to dream if you can afford it.

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?

kandyflip445

Nope, lol. I just put it up to give some perspective. For me, living in America, and talking about finances, it would have to be at the point that bills and paying for other things no longer cause me stress.

inner happiness

MandTPhotography

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 is having more then you need, enough fulfill your wants

but wealth cant be quantified, i will never say this is too much money in my bank account

Ultimate wealth is reaching all five steps of Maslow's hierarchical of needs.

qft. I just don't necessarily believe that the order is the same for everyone nor do you have to fully satisfy one need to be able to fulfill the next one.
Also, Maslow's definition of self-actualization is unrealistic. To not only realize, but to REACH one's full potential?
I feel like self-actualization should be realizing that you can not reach your full potential, to know that there is no cap, to become a life-long learner, that one must always better themselves so that they can also better help others.

To have wealth is one thing, to know the joys of being able to share it with others is completely different.

I also think you must have an awesome datsun, some cool motorcycles, and a doggy.. preferably a corgi or jindo..

Well I'll just define the difference between wealthy people and rich as I see it.

Rich people have a lot of money. They might not have to work, but they usually get rich within their lifetime - lBill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. Wealthy people come from money, and they get used to having anything they want. They only work to make a difference or to make a name for the family or for themselves, because money has no value to them. Think - race car drivers like Senna, Schumacher, Prost, most come from wealthy families, but they want to be the best at something. Wealthy people are not satisfied by money. They seek quality in life, not quantity. That's just my .......
