This may blow some peoples' minds, but I feel like my net worth is enough.
I think that puts me at the top 1% of something, though I'm not sure what. Maybe the personal satisfaction continuum, if there is such a thing?
Anyway, I guess the point is that although I am far from the wealthiest retiree here, or the poorest for that matter, I don't much care how my net worth compares with others. What I care about more is being at peace with my own situation and my place in the universe, something I think takes a lot of introspection to find in our society given the consumerist, shallow values that are so apparent here. Sometimes the ability to sleep at night is evidence of one's contentment, sometimes not, but in my case I sleep like a baby.

Brilliant, all of it! Looks like somebody read my mind (although I've personally found the values on this site far from consumerist or shallow).
