One thing I think poor people imagine about being rich is that it offers access to a vast market of incredible goods.

As someone with wealth, I can tell you that, outside of a very small market of luxury goods, this is simply not true.

Shrinkflation drags everybody down, even the wealthy.

I spend a massive amount of time sourcing goods and services that aren't a rip off, which is nearly impossible.

This is why I started #WorthTheSats.

I wander what is wealthy today. Even with the same money I find not attractive many things. Cars are trash, made to last few years, vacation places are not what they were 20-10 years ago. Having a big house is just expenses and the surroundings are unsafe. I really don't know where to go live to just feel safe with happy people around. The entire planet got crazy

1. No debt, or assets far exceed.

2. Mr and Mrs "retired".

3. Purchase whatever needed.

4. Future big purchases, children+retirement into old age, assured.

I think it's pretty simple.

By “far exceed” what percentage do you mean?
