Even in times of financial uncertainty, it’s always important to keep things in perspective.
Wealth is the ability to fully experience life. – Henry David Thoreau
1.You didn’t go to sleep hungry last night.
2.You didn’t go to sleep outside.
3.You had a choice of what clothes to wear this morning.
4.You hardly broke a sweat today.
5.You didn’t spend a minute in fear.
6.You have access to clean drinking water.
7.You have access to medical care.
8.You have access to the Internet.
9.You can read.
10.You have the right to vote.Some might say you are rich, so remember to be grateful for all the things you do have. Think about that every time when you are not in a good mood… There is always someone who have worse life then you…

While I agree with the ideas, this does not constitute rich. Yes, there are always people worse off, but I feel a more accurate article title would be “10 Reasons Why You Are Not Poor”.

I think this is supposed to mean we are wealthy… because I do feel rich/wealthy… whatever you want to call it… anyone who can’t call themselves wealthy after reading this makes me sad.

i understand the meaning of this and i do appreciate it, BUT last night i went to sleep super duper hungry (munchies) i was outside, i did not have a choice as to what to wear because i had to wear the same clothes i was wearing, i had to sprint 5 blocks to catch the bus (broke a sweat), i was mugged last night after leaving the roma-bologna game, and i dont have the right to vote…… yet- once again i realize that the day i am talking about is not everyday and i do have all of those things on most every other day of my life
