Wealth,security and freedom are not a result of what you do….
I can equally assure you that what you do produces income, but income can disappear overnight.
Wealth, security and freedom come from what you own,never by a paycheck or what you owe.
In my own view,wealth is not money rather money is just an instrument to measure and keep it going.
Wealth is simply the value that we create by production process.
For instance,if someone is able to create wealth without creating more value, and it must be at the expense of another source.
It’s been assum as a zero-sum game and has negative effects to economy,that’s absolutely a bad ideology.
The three things you mentioned are all the results of your efforts, let me state why is like that, if results is removed as the outcome of labour then there is no way wealth can be generated, for example someone who was not wealthy at the beginning but began to do businesses and other investment and within few years he became very wealthy, is obvious the wealth came as a result of all the things he did because if he hadn't done it then there wouldn't have been any wealth. Security can also be enhanced when someone is wealthy because unlike when you had non and the security was just by yourself but after being wealthy you can have security watching and guiding you all the time. However you are right of saying money is just a substance of wealth because assets are the things that's measured as wealth. However does an already wealthy person have to create more value before they would be regarded as wealthy?, actually wealthy can only be one assets of value they have so long as the productivity is massive then is sufficient.
