Understanding oneself and one’s own motivations is great “wealth” (but I still think that wealth is net worth and nothing more).[/quote]
I agree, In a Merriam Webster sort of way. The first part can bring happiness peace ect. so has a huge value, but it can’t directly buy or pay for much of anything else of value.
The understanding of one’s motivations can make life much more “enriching”,economical, less demanding of fungible wealth, compared to say blind ambition, tunnel vision, pursuit of pipe dreams.
I think it is difficult to avoid having ethereal components creep into the answer to the question, ‘What is Wealth?”, even if technically it is wrong to mix them up.
The word “rich”, un-modified,connotates the possession fungible assets,which can be compiled to a “net worth”, more clearly to me.
