for most rich people those aren’t goals. the are forgone assumptions.
rich people care about going to elite expensive institutions, working for elite companies, and having designer level lifestyle in clothes, housing, and consumer goods. they love to go on about how they value ‘experiences’ while they drop 30K on some week long spiritual retreat in Bali, or some $10K weekend spa weekend in Palm springs.
the 100K people who feel poor feel poor because they thought they could afford a designer lifestyle. and all they are getting is a basic middle-class lifestyle
Honestly, I suspect limited returns come as you fill in a checklist.
Are you and your family clothed, fed and relatively safe?
Are you working only one job per person?
Is your family healthy and/or getting adequate healthcare?
Is your family at least getting an entire high school education under their belt?
Do you have safe and marginally convenient transportation?
Do you at least have enough money for occasional entertainment outside the house
Do you have a second bathroom?
Do you have at least a small line of credit?
Do you have a retirement? Will you be able to retire?
You don’t need all that, but once you cross that line, having more money around for things doesn’t make you happier.
Having more money would let me retire earlier, which would make me happier.
But I’m lucky and already have all my other needs met.
