Yes I feel rich. I no longer have to worry whether I can pay bills at the end of each month, despite making discretionary purchases without a pre-planned budget. Yes I am lucky. Lucky to be both to parents who valued education, competency, and responsibility, knew how to instill those values in me, and had the capability to pull the right strings to see me through to a successful adulthood.
