wealth - what does it all mean?, page-5

Of course there is health and happiness of your family as a "wealth". I prefer to think about life as a whole.

We all know that money decreases in value over time. A million dollars 50 years ago was a lot more than a million dollars now.

A million dollars back then and you had everything. Who here would exchange a million back then for a million now (say a house in Sydney) with internet, 3D movies, IPad, Viagra etc for a million back then with dialing phones, 3D movies from then, personal organisers and Playboy?
