Then you wouldn't only feel rich, you'd actually be rich

Having a generous assortment of different kinds of tea to offer guests. New towels. Having the teller at the bank call me by name. Wearing a brand-new hoodie that's still fluffy on the inside. Serving soup at a soup kitchen.

Being able to replace anything that breaks in the house, even if it's not a necessity.
Eg: our nespresso started malfunctioning, but was still technically working. I went online and bought a new one immediately because we can afford it and why use a malfunctioning machine?
A few years ago I wouldn't have been able to do that without waiting and budgeting. Heck, we didn't even have a nespresso!
Buying nice quality toilet paper. (My mother never did, it was too expensive)
Getting another hotel room when we're on vacation and not sqeezing into 2 rooms for our whole family.

Unfortunately I have a lot of financial anxiety and even when I do spend on treats and things that aren't absolute necessities, I can't enjoy them fully. I don't ever feel financially rich at all. Objectively speaking I am not rich. On the other hand, when my family is all together, we are healthy and everyone is behaving themselves, I do feel that my cup runneth over. I wish I knew how to make the feeling last longer.

I also have financial anxiety!
But I feel rich or blessed the most when my children dh and I are walking on Shabbos or yt as a family…
Recently we needed a new couch because ours is peeling like crazy. We got a couch and also redid the lighting and paint in the room. I felt very grateful to be able to afford that!

Being able to pay for our necessities (not luxuries) and bills not have a negative balance in the bank account. Bonus if there is a bit left over for emergency repairs, etc.

That actually also somehow makes me feel like I'm doing something right with my life 🙃

We are based on this thread actually rich, and I feel the exact same way, I have long concluded that happiness has to come from within, You can not imagine how much anxiety I have about money when we are really doing very well
