Are You Wealthy or Just Chasing Numbers?

What if I told you that you could be a multi-millionaire and still feel broke? Or that someone with very little in their bank account could feel absolutely rich? That’s because wealth isn’t just a number—it’s a mindset.

Most people chase wealth believing it’s about accumulation—more money, more assets, more security. And while net worth is the technical measure of wealth, real-life experience tells a different story. When we describe someone as “wealthy,” we’re really talking about their freedom, security, and—most importantly—peace of mind.

But here’s the challenge: If you measure wealth only by dollars, you risk missing the real prize. How many people with millions in the bank still suffer from stress, anxiety, and the constant fear of losing what they have? Meanwhile, others with modest means sleep peacefully at night, free from financial worry and rich in the best of life with —relationships, purpose, and contentment.

True wealth requires being content—not just in your finances but in your sense of well-being. It’s about building a life where your money serves you, rather than you serving your money. It takes some consistent effort to re-find balance. Choosing to act in ways that you are earning and growing wealth wisely AND cultivating the inner peace that no dollar amount can buy.

So here’s your challenge: Ask yourself, “What does wealth really mean to me?” If your answer goes beyond money, you’re on the right track. Because the richest life is measured in freedom to go and do, relationships, and peace of mind.
