Wealth to a human is something like a car “running on all cylinders”. It never is is a goal attained rather an equilibrium maintained in a matter of degrees from one day to the next, where things are prone get out of whack. Spending less time out of whack is wealth.
Of course, basic material security is a component for most of us and apparently much more than that for many. I think of the idea from the Bible, “It’s harder for a rich man to enter heaven than for camel to go through the eye of a needle”. Wealth is a “heaven” of the type I am talking about a contented equilibrium to which access is only marginally affected by money or the things easily converted to money.
