[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider myself rich but many on DCUM would disagree.  [/quote]
Me too. I'm not even giving numbers as I already know what DCUM wrote last time. There are some cool things going for me, however. Some of cannot be put into money. I guess they are called intangibles assets. Here are few examples:
I don't have tax expense to speak, commuting expense, wardrobe expense, or food expense on certain days.
I don't need to work for money.
I work very part time for now as it add something to my life.
I do have 'annuity' that goes up with COLA.
I'm in great health and should live another 50 years easily.
Most things people pay for are free (childcare) or cheap to me. I don't collect bills or subscriptions as I'm not a big consumer. 
I have several investment account/Roths that have done very well and should continue because of the investments in it. 
I have skills few people have. My reading/writing are bad, but my math skills are awesome. 
I will never be out of a job.
There is some inheritance sitting somewhere already, but since I don't need it, I really don't care where it is. There's some more inheritance from abroad, but has more sentimental value. It has great value when I move there and live well on $2k a month only.
The reason I'm not DCUM rich yet is that some of it is all fairly new, specially the skill. Never knew I had it. It tops even inheritance. 
I don't really feel like dealing with the paperwork and courts. Lets see if they even look for me.
The money is simply growing faster than I can spend. Not feeling the need to spend is very liberating. I wasn't always like that. I do not hold back spending money when traveling, being with family and friends, or eating out.
Having my time back, healthy family are the ultimate riches. I just don't have any expenses beside housing.[/quote]
