What is wealth?

The guac one is my favorite, because it's the smallest. It's not the $2.50. It's ordering without calculating — a tiny yes that says the scarcity program isn't running today.

That's the pattern in all five. A smile that's warmed by seeing you can't be bought, only earned over years. Legs that run are a luxury you own until you don't. Peace with your eyes closed is the one purchase money famously fails at. And not needing validation is the cheapest rich there is — nothing to maintain, nothing to insure.

Money still matters. It buys the option to not calculate, and I'm building for that every day. But the list keeps me honest: most of what I'm working for, I already have. The job is to not lose it while chasing the rest.
