Wealth

True wealth is being able to live comfortably, having support from others, and having direction in your life.

  1. Live comfortably- people will argue that that is not wealth at all and it is actually having a ton of money.

  2. Very arguable since having direction may not relate to wealth for some people. It may mean that they know what they want to do in their career and they know the people they want to be in their life.

  3. For having support from others, what kind of support? financial, emotional, etc?

  4. Arguable. One might argue that they live comfortably even though they have no direction in their life or support from others because they are supported financially by their parents.

  5. Arguable! Most people define wealth as the money they have and not on their comfort level. what kind of support do you mean though? emotional, mental..?

  6. Good simple definition! But can I have comfort sleeping and living under a bridge, support from hobos, and my only direction in life is spending most of my days in the streets begging for money and still consider myself wealthy?

  7. So if I have 6 billion dollars am I not wealthy? Some will definitely argue that money itself is wealth, and that with wealth in currency you gain happiness. Good definition. very arguable.

  8. This definition is very arguable because it includes vague qualifiers. How do you define living comfortably? It is on a spectrum so it is hard to pin point standards, which could help your argument if you define the term in your paper.

  9. Living comfortably might need further definition, and main counter-argument is wealth = money.

  10. Someone might argue that to live comfortably, you need to have money to do things as simple as feed yourself. Also, would all three have to apply to someone to be wealthy? Are there levels of wealth?

  11. I can live comfortably without being wealthy. With that said this definition is arguable.

  12. A very arguable definition because many people would argue that living comfortability is not considered wealthy. But rather having an above average, luxurious life would be.

  13. How can you define living comfortably? Also, aren't there many types of wealth such as intellectual wealth, wealth in happiness, ect? Just some refuting arguments to think about.

  14. This is good. Wealth is so many other things, but this is your take on it. Almost everyone can debate with you on this and that is why you have succeeded
