I feel wealthy because:

1) We don't have to work (that's a BIGGIE!)
2) We don't have to budget our spending too very carefully to stay within our means.
3) If we really had to, we could help close relative with financial emergencies (medical expenses, etc.), without putting our own retirement at significant risk.

No, I can't afford a multi-million dollar mansion or a big fancy yacht or to buy my own island. But there is a whole lotta stuff I CAN afford, and that feels good!
