I think that is more a list of the rich rather than a definition of "Financial Wealth".

I wasn't talking about millionaires or billionaires. What do you call "wealth" apart from the obvious?

I think Super Nova was closer ....
My definition is to be free of financial insecurity.
You can only live in one house, drive one car, eat one meal at a time. :bgrin

Nope... lots of people can be that without being "wealthy".
Happy to have one of each... some cannot afford one of each or even one.
Then there are the types... What sort of house? What sort of car? What sort of meals?
What is "wealth" to you, Rorschach? Seriously. I am not talking about the millionaires or billionaires here. What do you call "wealth"?
Didn't realise you were asking for a definition nef.
If you wanted a defn of wealth nef, you shoulda looked in the dictionary. :roll:
wealth
noun \ˈwelth also ˈweltth\

: a large amount of money and possessions

: the value of all the property, possessions, and money that someone or something has

: a large amount or number
Wealth doesn't necessarily have to be about money.
I have a wealth of friends...

Exactly! However, I was thinking more along the lines of living within your means, paying your bills on time, buying what you need WHEN you need and still be able to save and afford to do what you like without getting into debt. You do not have to be a millionaire to live that lifestyle.

Well wealth can be a relative thing... the wealth in one country can be filthy rich or dirt poor in another... laziness or smartness don't really come into it.

To live the lifestyle you quoted Nef would be financially comfortable to me... not something the poor can actually do though. Bills get paid when they can be paid, or you beg for charity and hope for the best. I can understand why some people revert to crime. Some are just driven to it to survive.

Financial comfortable is to be free of financial insecurity. so we agree then :thumb

Smarter people who start poor can make it to be financially comfortable.

Not always... life and what it hands you can see to that.
Those that climb up can also be brought back down and no amount of smart can save them.
