You can’t measure ones wealth thru their belonging and that alone. There are many people living in nice homes/driving nice cars/wearing “nice” clothes, who are living WELL beyond their means and are actually quite broke. ---

The question wasn’t, “How do I measure how happy I am”. It was about measuring wealth. To put it another way, when Forbes puts out their 100 richest people list, I doubt they’re going around asking how many friends those people have, or how happy they are on the inside. :roll2: ---
