In my own view,wealth is not money rather money is just an instrument to measure and keep it going.
Let's no over-emphasize this, the reality is that
Money is the foundation of Wealth . Without money you cannot say you are financially wealthy.
You cannot tell a man who can't pay his bills, provide for his family, that wealth isn't money. The poor man at that point doesn't even need peace of mind all his concerned about is the money. I mean what's peace of mind when you are constantly stressing over bills?Money gives you numerous options, option to have the best education, best healthcare, best housing etc. Without money all door are shut.
Well money may not be everything, but let's not
detach money from wealth coz they go hand in hand. So for me wealth is the money itself.
