I'm not sure if a poll is the right choice, but something I wanted to share with the group. DW, Tori and I were shopping in the local Sprouts (kind of a farmers market, organic foods, Trader Joe's type store) and I was really enjoying going through the selections. Items from around the world, every kind of luxury food, and crops raised wonderful conditions few in the world get to experience. And I realized I could buy any of it. I thought about how we haven't lived paycheck to paycheck in years, and we are in want of nothing, and have a myriad of choices for wants. I just felt really wealthy, and still do. Oh, I know I can't quit work, and maybe I can't buy a house with an ocean view or have servants, but I really feel wealthy nonetheless. But I have friends and aquaintences who have a higher NW (ours is ~1/3 million) yet still feel poor. My mom insists shes just doing o.k., even though she's worth a couple million and spends little (drives a 12 year old Honda). How are you feeling about your financial picture, or life in general. Are some here driven by a little anxiousness no matter how much you have saved? My grandparents were children of the depression, very frugal, and worried about money even when they were extremely well set, even by Monte Carlo standards.
