Only decades ago, relatively few Americans owned stocks.  Real estate was a place where we lived or farmed, not where we invested.  Today we can track all our investments minute-by-minute, even on phones attached to our belts.  When is enough really enough?  Epicurus noted that "Wealth consists not in having great possessions but in having few wants."  We can all be a bit richer today not by searching for the next best thing, but by realizing we probably already have all we need.  That is true wealth.
