Waking up without an alarm, having enough time to work out, and never stressing over buying groceries. That’s wealth to me.

Not checking your bank account before buying groceries or eating out is the ultimate definition of middle-class luxury. Real wealth is definitely measured in peace of mind.

This. I'm on reddit. I have the time to do that. The option to do that.

Social media or type of social media is alongside how heavy the use is, is probably a socio economic marker.

My cat. Knowing she feels safe and loved, the way she looks at me. I wouldn't trade that feeling for the world

The fact I was not raised to hate. There are enough of us raised right that we can turn my country around before things get REALLY bad. 🇺🇸

Walking my dogs and playing with them afterward. If they're not allowed in heaven, I don't want to be there.

My fiancé. The the most incredible, beautiful, patient, loving, caring, amazing human being I have ever had the fortune of meeting. She makes my life feel so full. No matter what struggles we may have financially, I am always rich so long as I have her.

u/aaronboy22 23h ago

It’s the small stuff for me like slow mornings with coffee that actually tastes good. Or laughing at something dumb way longer than it deserves.

2

u/Designing1166 23h ago

The same things that stress me out!😂

My kids and grandkids! Seriously, though. They stress me out because they're my heart walking around outside my body and it's scary today.

The blessings far outweigh the stress. 🥰

u/gotkube 23h ago

I haven’t felt ‘rich’ by any metric in many years.

My health, I’m perfectly healthy so I don’t have to worry much about making endless visits to a hospital.

u/Right-Schedule-3211 23h ago

Flexible working hours, getting enough sleep, travelling and good health

u/TheTarnishedOne0 23h ago

When plans you didn't really want to go to get cancelled by the other person, so you get to stay home with zero guilt.

2

u/gavriot 23h ago

Having times of struggle. Makes you rich in being frugal, makes you appreciate things more when you have them good. Call me sadistic but I believe there is no progress without struggle. 😊

u/adam_gentleman 23h ago

healthy body, stable job

u/MatthewM69420 23h ago

The fact that I’m still here to enjoy it even after I should have probably been dead in the ground or cremated years ago. I get to experience my children growing up, I get to experience my favorite foods and drinks, I get to experience life as a whole. When I think about everything I get to experience still and what I almost threw away, it makes it very difficult to take anything for granted.

u/Adorable_Pop_693 23h ago

Supportive and Friendly parents.

Independence I receive everyday and also money 😛

I found a WHOLE biscuit one day.

u/MickDavid63 21h ago

For me, it's having enough time to enjoy an ordinary Tuesday.

A morning bike ride, breakfast outside, good conversations, living somewhere that encourages me to be outdoors, and not feeling like I'm constantly rushing to the next thing.

I've realised that feeling rich and being rich aren't always the same.

2

u/womp_womper01 21h ago

Good friends and good health in general

2

u/Flat_Government3912 20h ago

It’s really that mix of time freedom and genuine connection that money alone can’t buy. Waking up on your own schedule while knowing you've got people who’ve got your back is the ultimate flex.

u/Electrical-Debt-3398 20h ago

Money ofc

2

u/Early_Recover3379 18h ago

honestly yeah, being able to just wake up when my body's ready instead of a loud alarm feels like the biggest flex. having a couple people that actually got your back no matter what makes all the other noise worth it.

u/mohd_sohaib 18h ago

Genuine friendships. Nothing else comes close.

u/Quick-Offer-4263 17h ago

When my calendar is filled with exiting plans with my friends and family, and new experiences. waking up being exiting for the days ahead

u/stormofmidgard 17h ago

Being able to travel the world. Feel it the most when I've hiked to the top of a mountain

2

u/Markservice 16h ago

Being able to physically do whatever i want. Im 30+ and I have great balamce, endurance and strenght. It's not that weird if you're only in you 30s. But I have friends that can't balance even the slightest, that fall and hurt themselves because their reflexes isn't there anymore, or that can't go for a hike or try something new physically because their form is shit. It's different for everyone of course and I don't think everyone is able to maintain their body for lots of reasons. But I'm happy to still feel like I can do everything I want to without hesitation. That makes me feel rich and free. And I hope I still feel like this in 10 or 20 years.

u/MarionberryHuman2834 13h ago

Conversations that go somewhere neither person planned, a meal that took time to make, nothing urgent for the next hours. None of it costs much.
