I used to think being rich was simple: big salary, nice car, maybe some Bitcoin. But as I grow up, I am not sure anymore

In some countries, the numbers are enormous (such as Singapore, Switzerland), and yet everyday life is stressful: long working hours, high rent, and a lack of free time. Meanwhile, other countries such as Norway and Germany are working on making life easier to ordinary citizens: less work, more leisure time, healthier, more trust

I see more and more people (including me and my friends) wondering: Is all the money worth anything when you are tired, stressed, or anxious about the future? In others, youths are unable to secure decent employment and resort to crypto to stay alive, such as in Nigeria. In Guyana, new oil money is helping some, but only if it is managed well

Having big salary?
I think that was never something to consider being rich in today’s economy.

This is not being rich you are right. There was a golden time where getting a 7 figure salary was considered the dream and you have permanently made it. These days no salary except extremely top earners guarantee you anything and it does not make you rich.

Everything in this era has totally change because of how the whole world have change even the meaning of being rich, high rent, high rate of taxes, inflation and lot more are the factors that determines being rich in today’s world.
In today’s world being rich means you own a house, being able to pay taxes without affecting ur wellbeing budget, and having freedom.
Having alot of money doesn’t matter in today’s world, if u don’t have freedom and if you can’t make the money work for you.

The world is sure messed up and took a turn for the worse in many ways.
