What is wealth?

Question

And what purpose does it actually serve in life?

Answer 1

Wealth is what I don't have, so it doesn't serve any purpose in my life :D

Answer 2

I think it depends on how you define wealth. If you are thinking in monetary forms, it provides a sense of purpose for some. For others wealth is about experiences, people, interactions, everything in their life that brings love and hope. I think of myself as a very wealthy person. I am close to my family, have good friends, I am able to give to others, and I am happy. I don't have lots of money, but I am fulfilled. I am wealthy with love and spirit and these serve a great purpose in my life and impact me on a daily basis. I would like to think it is the source of my goodness. Money, it keeps a roof over my head, food on the table, and funds some creature comforts. Money isn't the source of my wealth.
