Best of Week: Intangible Wealth

Question 44 in our Do You Mind section is very appealing because of the economic status of our times. For most people wealth is solely associated with money. However, wealth can also be found in intangible things such as health, happiness, and drive. Many people's goal's are to become wealthy. But what exactly do they mean buy this? I asked a few classmates what they thought of it, and the only response i got was the monetary unit that seems to be so valuable and holy. This is very unfortunate in the sense that my classmates do not associate wealth with the well-being of an individual or how the individual feels. However, this discovery was not all that surprising. Now-a-days it seems like our society is focusing a lot more on money, and I don't blame them. With the economy in ruins, and an inevitable recession about to transpire, cash seems to be the only thing on peoples minds. However, money is not everything! It certainly helps with a lot of dilemmas now-a-days but the wealth that cannot be felt, is what I think is of the utmost importance. Since everyone has money on their minds, people seem to be a lot more stressed and filled with anxiety. People need to relax a little bit, and live life at a slower pace. All in all, most people associate wealth with money, but it is the intangible wealth that truly satisfies and dictates an individuals life.
