I consider myself rich. This is how i have quantified it
- Rich enough to avail public transport
- Rich enough to eat home-cooked meals (enough time to purchase the items as well)
- Rich enough to spend time on the gym to improve my health
- Rich enough to spend time on my hobbies (gaming)
- Rich enough to have spare time to spend with my loved ones
- Rich enough to afford a nationalized healthcare plan
- Rich enough to plan a investment technique so that I can retire peacefully
I am extremely privileged. Sometimes I wonder if I even deserve it. I don’t think i will require any more money at this point. But people around me will call me middle-class because i’m not hustling enough. I don’t care to be honest; i’m at peace.
This, i believe, is one of the biggest faults of society/social media which is not discussed enough. We are always chasing an unreachable goal of success which makes us constantly depressed.
I mostly use public transport other than scenarios where it’s just not feasible (catching a flight at 6-7 am). What I meant to say is that I am fortunate enough to be in an area which has good public transport.
