Who is rich? He who has satisfaction in his wealth

Who is rich? He who has satisfaction in his wealth

The truly rich person is one whose possessions do not cause him worry. True wealth is that which brings peace of mind rather than mental stress.

("Our Rabbis taught: Who is rich? He who has satisfaction in his wealth... Rabbi Akiva says: He who has a wife of good deeds." – Talmud, Shabbat 25b)
