      The only wealth I care about is spiritual wealth, and the wealth of human relationships. I mean other than money, which is the most important wealth.

      Education is extremely important.

          • Median household wealth hit $192,900 last year

          Two years ago, this statistic was making the rounds:
          Only 40% of americans can afford a random $1000 expense

          Maybe the great majority of the wealth in that median figure, is home equity. That might explain both numbers.

          Education is extremely important.

            We qualify and I feel relatively secure, but I'm also well aware of how quickly wealth can evaporate with long term care.
