Read? Wealth Formula : Balancing Act!!!
Our wealth will be measured at all times in both absolute and relative term. It is extremely difficult to escape from this measurement. In fact, no way to escape. How about becoming a sage living in high mountain?
When in doubt on how to look at our wealth; how about Uncle8888's Wealth Formula:
