How do you measure ones wealth compared to yours. For example I envy Newman for his car collection and his endless source of knowledge on just about anything. ---

Step 1: Add up the value of everything they own that is depreciating. Cars, jet skis, motorcycles etc. Toss in rent if you don’t **own** a house, condo, apartment. Step 2: Add up the value of everything they own that is appreciating. Retirement plans, real estate, investments etc. If step 1’s number \> step 2’s number, they don’t actually have any wealth, just a bunch of crap. ---
