An excellent story, Viv. A shift in the definition of “wealth” is much needed these days (speaking for my country). What a kinder/softer world this would be it the goal wasn’t to be rich at all costs. Thanks for sharing!
My husband and I feel wealthy even though we just get by financially. We have friends, a home, food on the table, and love taking walks. I couldn’t ask for much more, besides a peaceful world.
Same here. We have enough money, 💸, our house is mortgage free, our family, children and grandchildren, are all healthy, as are we, even if old age is catching up with us. We have good longstanding friends. What more can we ask?

That’s largely why I reblogged it. I think it needs to reach more people.

Yes. Far too many people think about money, and success as being how many things you have and how much you earn.
