How many makes you wealthy?

I reckon most older people who bought property when they were young, before mortgages went mad, are probably now mortgage free, but that alone doesn't make you rich. :-( :-(

I have none of the above but consider myself wealthy..My family and I are in reasonable health..We all have respectable homes owned or rented.Enough food to be satisfied.Not to much debt.Some of us can go overseas. Money when needed. We live in the best country in the world(My opinion). What more do we need.. ;-) ;-) ;-) <3 <3

That is how I feel as well.

Rich is not needing.

6 out od 38 :-D :-D :-D

Some people are so poor, all they have is money :-(

For one moment I misread 21 as have a personal stripper :-0 ;-) :-D :-D

Oh dear read through twice. Don't have any of the mention but do have a senior rail card?

A local woman is LOADED!

She enherited buckets of money & property from her grandparents.

Friday evening at the club........ she was raving on (as usual) about how ungrateful her kids are, she has 4 adult children and has bought every one of them a house... and they still go to her with their hands out, wanting more.

Don't feel sorry for her, she still has squillions.

While she was raving on, a local guy was staring at her.... very dirty looks......she has owed him about $100 for mowing her lawns..... every time he asks, she says she has no cash! I don't think I'd be mowing her lawns again until she paid up.

2. Almost had the equivalent of a swimming pool in the house during the last horrendous storms.

10. I have a personal gym in the shed. No membership fees. Use at will. Loads of working equipment bought cheaply at local charity shops.

17. I regularly travel 2nd class on a First train.

24. My uncle used his horse-drawn Austin Martin to raise funds at church fetes.

Anyway, the only time money means a lot to me is when I have none.
