Define wealth, material, emotional, spiritual?

@NativePortlander1970 I was asking about material wealth.
@OriginalDumbMan What good is material wealth if you cannot take it with you after death.

@NativePortlander1970 Yeah , you could even die today then all is in vain. But I like to think that if you live and you have good wealth, then life is easy. You are not slave of the system and not worry about your survival and your family. It gives a sense of security and peace of mind. Some may think to enjoy life too with good amount of wealth.
@OriginalDumbMan Not always true, the wealth holder may seem at ease, but many of their children suffer. In 1996 one young woman and myself counseled another young woman whose father became immensely wealthy in the 1980's from investing in early tech stocks like microsnot and apple, she was super depressed because whenever she wanted to spend time with him he'd just give a few Benjamins and tell her to have fun with her friends at the mall. In february 1997 she took her own life, she was only 17, the girl's mother called the young woman's mother to let her know.

@NativePortlander1970 I think she was too young and immature and taken the decision impulsively. I am not trying to judge her and feel very bad and sorry for her. I don’t know what to say as I am not in her situation and don’t know about it but I think she could have avoided that.
