Wealthy means not having to worry about having enough. Enough what you might ask? Enough to not having to say I can't buy that at the grocery store, I can't afford to go to the Dr or Dentist or get a prescription, I can't afford my air conditioning bill, I can't spot one of my kids $20 or $500 if needed.

Enough doesn't mean that I can shop till I drop or travel non-stop. Enough means that I do not have to work unless I want to. Enough means I can have all of the basic necessities covered and still have money in my pocket for some of the fun things in life.

Enough and wealth are all about choices. I have enough money to afford time spent as I choose, I have health and loved ones to enjoy it with. Because of the assets which allow this... I have wealth and choose to be thankful each day. My goal is to prudently stay within my means and be a steward of my finances to never feel poor again.
