What do you need in order to become wealthy?
What's your act like at the beginning? How did you choose to ride the path and What’s running through your mind at that process? Did you enjoy it?
For me personally, being wealthy means having lots of free time at my disposal to invest into practical real world experiences and knowledge refinement.
The need to waste time with acquiring money is an absolute nuisance as it takes away from my pool of free time in unproportional, if not even unfair measure.
The dictatorial materialism of this world is the opposite of being "wealthy" according to my personal definition of the term.
