When Am I Wealthy?
I have often asked myself the question: "When am I wealthy?" Is it about possessions, money or maybe my health?
Well, the answer is different for each of us.
For some people, the question "When am I wealthy?" is answered very quickly. They are convinced that the possessions and riches they have are enough to be wealthy. Others, however, are aware that only a well-filled bank account can answer the question: "When am I wealthy?"But is that enough to be wealthy and happy?
Money Alone Isn't Everything!
As the saying goes, everything will work out in the end! But what good are all my possessions and my money if I am sick?
Fine, many an illness can be cured at home or in the hospital. But what if my illness has spread so far that I will never get well again? I'm not even thinking about dying here, but about someone who is in a wheelchair or confined to bed. For that person, the question "When am I wealthy?" would be a completely different starting point! For such people, it would be a form of wealth to simply be able to get up out of bed or the wheelchair
on their own!
When Am I Wealthy?
You come across this question again and again. Many married couples wish for a child. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work out. Other couples, on the other hand, have children even though they didn't want any or it wasn't planned at the time. For a childless couple, it would be a blessing to have a child. There are always two sides!
But there is something else that makes you ask: "When am I wealthy?" The preschoolers in kindergarten are proud of everything they have achieved there and that they will soon get to go to school. Students in their final year would like to get through their final exams well. After passing the exams, they'd like to aim for a career, college or at first an internship. Many teenagers get their driver's license, whether for a moped, scooter, motorcycle or car. For many of our young fellow citizens, this is real life and wealth. Because if we adults are honest, we were just as happy when we were that age.
You can also call yourself wealthy if you are lucky enough to have a terrace or a balcony. Especially now, during the pandemic, it is good to be able to sit outside for a while. You can do homework, have a cup of coffee or treat yourself to a glass of wine in the evening.
The main thing is not to lose perspective and to stay firmly grounded.
Because possessions and riches aren't everything in life!
