Across the financial landscape\u2014the industry, the media, the blogosphere, the DIY community\u2014virtually all attention is paid to attaining and sustaining wealth. You\u2019ll find more than you\u2019ll ever need or want on saving, investing, and insuring, but then what?<\/p>\n

It seems the presumption is that once you hit your number, or someone else\u2019s, the game is over. Congratulations, you\u2019ve won. But once you\u2019re rich, how do you live a rich life?<\/p>\n

It meant blessings, well-being, contentment. Enough.<\/p>\n

This is why you can be rich but not wealthy, or wealthy but not rich.<\/p>\n

Misconception #2: Wealth is only material.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The modern meaning of wealth falls especially short partly in its material limitation. Money and material resources are part of our wealth, but it\u2019s so much more. Consider the following acronym, TIMER, that offers a fuller definition of wealth:<\/p>\n
