What is Wealth?

" WEALTH is a person's ability to survive so many number of days forward... or if I stopped working today, how long could I survive? " by Buckminster Fuller

Example: If I chose to quit my job now having no asset and my total savings is amounting for 3 monthly expenses. I can only survive for 3 months without paycheck. It means I'm wealthy just for 3 months time.

Wealth is not tantamount to money alone. If you simply have more money it doesn't mean your rich already. As what I observe to a lot of people, they think they are rich enough by fat paycheck they received. So they act and talk of what they presume rich people do. The moment money touches their hands they spend it,
renovate their house, get car loans, take vacation and buy expensive things usually luxuries. As if employment income is permanent to support them until retirement.

Wealth is based through accumulated assets that will generate money for you without physical effort to last for a lifetime...
