"Money:
How much money do you have to have to be considered rich in today's
society? Some say about $1.3
million per family member. Others say about $5 million per family. Some individuals have told me that you should have unearned
income of about $500,000 per year to be considered rich.
But
I keep thinking of how many people I know with far more than that who do
not seem happy. On the other
hand, I know many people who have trouble paying their bills yet are
really well off.
If
you can share any problem with you wife, you're rich. If you can face your parents and believe you have given back
to them even a hint of what they gave you, you're rich. If you can take an afternoon off to go boating with your pal,
you're rich. If you can
honestly say you have nothing to hide, you are really, really rich."
-Benjamin. J. Stein
