About this Quote

This quote by Orison Swett Marden speaks with the concept that real wealth is not measured by the quantity of money one has, but rather by the capability to enjoy life without requiring to own material possessions. The male who has no money is bad, but the one who has absolutely nothing but cash is even poorer. This is due to the fact that money can not purchase joy, and without the ability to take pleasure in life, one is not genuinely wealthy. The only individual who can be considered really abundant is the one who can delight in life without requiring to own product ownerships. This individual is not covetous, and is content with what they have. This quote talks to the concept that real wealth is not determined by the quantity of cash one has, but rather by the ability to enjoy life without needing to own product ownerships.
