The world went for wealth in a big way by exploring, inventing, and seeking out riches. But do you know that wealth is not just about the accumulation of money? It refers to the accumulation of anything of value . That can include skills, experiences, and friendships. Nonmaterial wealth is not easily counted and measured , and its importance is often overlooked. However, it is key to the quality of our lives.
