I don't have to work.
I don't need to think from where and how I'll get my food.
No problem with bills.
Less stress life.

Up until this point it was all achievable. I started reading and I thought to myself: damn, these people really want the basics in life, no fancy stuff, just have food and paid bills. Many of us could do that with a decent property rented out. And then came the third point which is so detatched from the rest it's like asking your wife what does she want for birthday and the answer is:
Nothing special, just some jewelry... You think OK, I can do that... And she finishes the sentence: like a cartier bracelet with diamonds. Cheesy

I can buy anything that I want.

Even rich people don't think that being rich is being able to buy anything you want, because I want to won an island. Is that a definition of being rich?

Being rich is being able to satisfy your basic needs for food an shelter forever, without having to work at all and being able to do the same for your closest family for decades.
If you have enough money that if you got sick today or injured and couldn't work, your family's lifestyle wouldn't change, then you're rich.
Most people either don't have savings at all or have enough for 6 months, or less. If you have enough to live a normal life without having to work until you die of old age, you're rich.[/list]
