 Don't be fooled by the illusion of wealth. 

A big house, fancy cars, designer clothes are not wealth, they are most likely obligations to impress people you don’t even know nor care.

Wealth is Freedom, owning your Time and being Healthy. 
 Usually represents debt 
 Wealth is owning your mind and your thoughts.

Stuck in a fiat job in a flat world it is so hard to think outside of the acceptable confines. People put their blinders on and hand over control of their own thoughts.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

True wealth allows you to own your mind and your thoughts. 

Without this no matter how big the cage we are slaves.
