But really, CS folks, what is it to be rich?...

...and are there definite downsides of such? Years ago, any mono millionaire here in the beloved USA, indeed anyone with $100 large clear, no debt, their own home, a car, and caring for the family needs---hopefully also having a charitable side---was often thought of as rich. But with books like the millionaire next door, things have changed. Earn more than this amount yearly, and living in a modest country home in Iowa, and you were likely to be thought of as a fat cat. Not so in Maanhattan, and many parts of CA and NJ, esp. today. Many grounded folks try to follow the concept of "enough" here. Present company included. And the downsides of great wealth? Many might see this as oxymoronic. But I know of many examples.

$75000 a year nobody really needs or wants more than $75000 a year. I'd happily live in a society where nobody can have less than $25000 or more than $75000 a year.

A agree, Ex. I know lots of "wealthy" folks who are not healthy, happy, charitable, self loving, etc. And yes, CC, I have often had the same thoughts, adjusted perhaps a bit for family and residence.

Downsides to being rich are their kids, the cold family, and the profound difficulty in forming meaningful connections with other people. They are the men and women from anywhere who belong nowhere.

Yes, all, and thnks. There sure are charitable rich folks, and cold families and spoiled kids are out there. And my health is also a major source of personal wealth---at least as long as Big Little Vierk can still jump to attention when provoked, and angry.

I view myself as being rich in my two adult sons and my grandson.

On the subject of money, I was wondering what people do with their excess money they have accumulated over time?

It's simple, they reinvest.
Money makes money and there is no level of "I have enough"

Chatman, a lot of people, in years past, stash their money in a savings acct. I would like to ask them, Why? It's probably the worst thing you can do with your life savings.

Over the years, I've found that my bedding is much easier to sleep soundly on, when I stuff it with bills of larger denominations. Hundreds bring on the sweet dreams much better than the ones and fivers. Funny how that works.
