(assuming you weren’t “born rich”)
What do you define as being “rich”?
Or how would your life change if you won the lottery?
Without such wealth, can you still do something like what you would desire with such wealth? (Like if a person wants an expensive car, they might be able to read and discuss about what they like about such cars, etc.)
Maybe I wouldn’t be as happy as I am now. My wife and I started a small business 20 years ago which became moderately successful. We managed to save and invest enough to have a very comfortable retirement … I don’t know if it counts as “rich” but we certainly feel rich. And the best thing is we earned it and we we earned it together. And we had a lot of fun along the way.
