There is more to wealth than money.
It is the root of all evil and the sum of our blessings, all at
the same time. It touches the things we can do and the things we
can not do in many profound ways. Our attitudes about it are heavily
influenced by the amount and source of money in our heritage, going
back for several generations. We have a relationship with money
that can be either healthy or unhealthy. There are many references
to money in the Bible and the writings of other religions. Most
forms of currency are inscribed with a reference to religion. Money
and the way we view it are very important concepts. There is more
to wealth than money.
How much is enough?
This has been a question many clients of Ancona Financial Advisors,
Inc. have asked. Some clearly do not have enough for their goals
and feel distraught. They need help building the wealth they need,
or want. Some have much more than is needed for their goals, but
still struggle to accumulate more. For a healthy relationship with
our money, it is important to have a clear understanding of how
much wealth is enough for our goals, and a realistic understanding
of our wealth relative to our goals.
