Ok Bluestream...
You have enough to buy one trip to Venice.
So you get to go to Venice and that's it.
No more money. Is that going to be enough to make you happy for the rest of your life?

Hmm that's a lot of love.
I think I would be happy with 200 lbs of love if he's tall enough to carry it:)

Wealth for me is an essential but not the only component in life. I would consider myself wealthy if I am able to lead a contented life and have enough wealth to do so. Of course, it also depends on the saying:
"Success is having all that you want, Happiness is wanting all that you have."
So, I want to be more happy than successful and I want to love all that my share of the wealth can get for me.
Cheers!

Wealth for me is not just about money and material possessions. Even immaterial possessions can be considered as wealth too. Health is wealth. Even if you have lots of money and you are dying of cancer or can't eat what you like because doctors forbid you to eat the food that you want, then what good is your money.
Having good friends around, being with our love ones and family can make us be happy. Being contented with what we have and appreciating the blessings we receive can make our life easier.
So, I would consider myself wealthy if I and my family are in good health and we are happy living a contended life, at peace with ourselves and with others.
