To those who consider themselves very wealthy, is wealth worth what is takes to acquire it?

I don't want to become ultra wealthy because I don't want to do what it takes.

I love spending time with my wife and being home for dinner. I value my health and try to get 7-8 hours of sleep.

Most of the ultra wealthy individuals sacrifice a lot to obtain their wealth, and I won’t make those same sacrifices.

Similarly, I don’t desire to have 5% body fat because I don’t want to put in the effort required for it.

I understand that ultra wealthy is subjective, but the main point stands.

I would define a wealthy person in America as $300,000+ annual income and at least $3 million net worth. Ultra-wealthy would have a $1 million annual income and at least $10 million net worth.

I see nothing wrong with your attitude. I believe the "wealthiest" person is the one doing what he loves, while surrounded by people who love him. That is more likely to happen with a blue-collar, middle-class worker than it is with a wealthy person.
