“Associating Money With Wealth Is Nonsense”

My daughter asked me one morning: “Daddy, are you rich?”. Now, I know this lass, she is filled with wisdom at just 5. I wanted to tread cautiously. So, I said yes. She said “wow, so Daddy, you have up to $2,000”? I was like “no baby,I have you,you are reason why I am rich”.
