Wealth is relative. We do not have lots of money. But we do have what we need and some of what we want, which is wealth to me. We both hate to shop so that might be part of the lack of material things. We both love to work hard but not at anything stupid or pointless. We certainly don't want to spend time chasing the dollar in this short life. Or any.
However, we have our minor indulgences just like the next guy. Because we are also rich in amazing take-out restaurants... Hollah! Go Brooklyn! ...once in awhile when we're both feeling a little beaten up by the city and life and the voices in our heads, we order up a trio of entrees from National Thai. Within 20 minutes, one of my Mexican brothers will show up at the door with their signature clear bags filled with THE BEST Thai food you can get and for a fraction of the price. The curry, especially the green coconut is memorable like seriously. The pork with pineapple fried rice is choice and perfect alongside the silky spicy noodles with beef. Three dishes will feed six so plenty for leftovers.
When I was little my mother didn't tell me to find a rich man, she said to find a good person and that's what I did. Not perfect mind you, but inherently good.
