True wealth does not come from money, but from progressively working on one's own attributes. Money is simply one of various currencies, in this regard, and the most fleeting of them all.

For instance:

-Knowledge

-Wisdom

-Intelligence

-Self-Respect

-Integrity

-Physical Strength

-Mental Strength

-Friendship

-Love

.

.

.

etc. etc.

In short, the road to self-mastery/self-actualization.

High levels of these such currencies is true wealth, in my eyes.

Nice aspirations but, many of those are very difficult to have without money.

I think many homeless people on the streets would suggest that that is the case.

Which of those is not attainable to homeless people?

as long as people have their basic needs met then having more money doesn't improve life much

improving the mind is a much better option at that point
