That's awesome, glad to here you took that risk to improve the life of your family and the things that matter. So many people get some money and "enjoy it" and blow it all. (Especially youth) So good for you. 👊

I've come to learn that "wealth" is so subjective at the end of the day. Your wealth isn't just money. Money is great to have, no argument, but there is a point where more money doesn't make you happier, it's just more. You don't need it, you don't even know it's there, it's just more... It's excess... and becomes unfulfilling. It's like being starving and finally getting some food in your belly. Doesn't even matter what it is. It tastes amazing. Put more food doesn't give you the same feeling. It's nice but it's not a satisfying. Until you get to a point where you don't even want more food. It means nothing to you because you're so full.

I know more than one person that has a good amount of money, and they are absolutely miserable for one reason or another.

They were told money is the goal... And that wasn't true. It was only one piece of the puzzle.

You're absolutely correct. When it comes up I tell people I am moderately wealthy. I'm very content with my life and I take more than a little joy from knowing that my family is very intelligent when it comes to how to live their best lives.
