It's slowly dawning on me, that it's really a mental thing.

I have no idea how rich people feel, so would I even recognize the feeling? Do most rich people feel rich?

I do.

I can buy everything I need for my family and me to thrive. Plus, I am a fanatic about not wasting anything. I eat all the leftovers in my fridge, I only buy things I use, never waste money on things whose only purpose is to impress others.

I have most of my time to use as I see fit. I eat the best quality grass-fed steak, good oysters, bacon, eggs, fresh organic produce.

I can type into a keyboard and things arrive at my door a couple days later. I can broadcast my thoughts to thousands of people instantly. I have a well-maintained car the lease for which I bought out for 16K euros last year. It has a large scratch, but drives well.

I am rich af.

My kind of rich.

and incidentally Merry Christmas, Stella!

Merry Christmas, Chris!

definitely a mental thing, people have different definitions of rich

my view is that there is an amount of assets and income that gives you and those dependent on you a comfortable life into the future

anything above that would be rich, I.e. you have surplus wealth

but what’s a comfortable life? different for different folks

and if someone can take away what you have, then you don’t have a comfortable life into the future, you only have it for now

which in my mind is why we call nocoiners poor
