Rich is when what comes in exceeds what goes out. Adjust accordingly.
Get rid of stuff.
I am doing ok financially, but I am at the point where I don’t want new stuff, I’d rather get rid of all the stuff I don’t need, and simplify.
Money should buy freedom, not stuff.
My wife and I are millionaires. We don't feel rich, just living a middle class existence. We always spend far less than what comes in, always have lived within our means. Neighbors saw me last weekend duct-taping the roof on my 23-year-old truck, because of rust holes that leak, a ritual I do every 6 months. Keep it patched until it no longer runs. No new cars, I get at least 15 years from daily drivers before considering getting a newer one. House long paid off, no debts, and we do most repairs ourselves. With our excess funds we help our adult kids and their families.
The true riches are being around our families and helping them.
