Do You ‘Feel’ Wealthy?
« on: December 09, 2022, 10:51:36 AM »


Only need to listen to the first 7-ish minutes, wealth is more a state of mind than actual amount of possessions.


Been following Uneducated Economist for awhile for my financial advise, really good apolitical insights, VERY pro-Constitution.

Real wealth is being the only guy shooting 5.7 at the range. Wait till the 6.8 SPEAR is mass produced. Flexxing big time for the 1st guy to bring that to the range.

Full house 6.8 with bi-material casing, not just the all-brass training ammo.

Wealth is relative.
One son came back from Afghanistan and constantly reminds me that some people live in real shitholes.
Another son came back from the Philippines and told me the exact same thing.
If you're reading this now, you are pretty darn wealthy compared to most people in this world.

We wealthy people should donate to those who are less fortunate due to unfortunate circumstances.

Someone taught me a neat "trick".

Keep a $100 bill in your wallet where you can see it but don't spend it.  Under a see-through window for licenses is a good spot.

Knowing you have at least $100 on you means you'll never feel broke.

It's worked well for many years, and I always have an emergency Benjamin if i'm ever in a tight spot.

It's an even better idea now that few people carry cash in favor of plastic.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Do I “feel” wealthy? No. I don't have $10 million in unencumbered assets yet. That is the point where a survey among multimillionaires said they “felt” rich.

I don't have a lot of money, but I have excellent health and I am grateful for that. Can’t enjoy life with poor health no matter how much money a person may have.
