How to Find If We Are "Rich" Enough?

My favorite story about knowing when you are rich is told about Joseph Heller, the novelist who wrote "Catch-22." At a fashionable party in Nantucket, someone pointed to another person at the party.

"He runs a hedge fund. He's worth $100 million or $200 million."

"He'll never have what I have," Heller responded.

"Oh? What could that be?" Heller's friend asked.

"Enough."

That story is a good thing to remember when you check where you are on my Wealth Scoreboard. You can find it on my Web site,
www.scottburns.com. A search engine there can help you find columns you meant to save.

Thanks, Gopa. This is sorely needed for these times.

Edgar Cayce said a similar thing a long time back:

Don't be satisfied, be content.
