What makes you feel poor?

Madame X kicked off some serious soul searching across the blogosphere with that simple question.

MoneyDummy thought about it and decided that she and BabyMoney are henceforth poor no more!

Savvy Saver then flipped the question and answered with what makes you feel well off? She also considers what are our luxuries?

NYCMoney has been pondering the idea of a successful American and asks what exactly does success mean to you?

And Katie at the blog collective Aridni caps off all this financial navel gazing nicely by pointing out that wealth is about more than money...

• Money can buy you a house, though not a home
• Money can buy you a clock, though not time
• Money can make you popular, though what’s the definition of true, loyal friendship?
• You can buy a bed, not sleep
• You can buy sex, yet you cannot buy love
• You can buy a computer, but you can’t buy the knowledge

As you consider these wonderfully thought provoking questions for yourselves, Madame X helpfully provides a soundtrack.
