What is wealth? Money or relationship?
Money is not wealth. Money comes and goes. However, you need to realize how many millionaires lost everything they have and had to restart over. Wealth is relationships. You cannot take that away. However you need two people who are committed to make the relationship work.

I agree with what you say. I have never been paid back on money I lent family and friends. Even coworkers who I loaned money never paid me back. Lending money is asking for ruining relationships

Wealth is a very broad concept, as in different forms of expression. Even though it could be financial, with a good net worth, it might not be the only factor in wealth, as this is deemed less important than the other components.
Financial wealth:
Liquidity and flexibility – Money offers means. Ultimately, it can buy something less important in this context.
Acquisition of resources: With financial means, one can acquire opportunities such as studying in new places, traveling, meeting new people, and investing their time.
Relational Wealth:
Emotions: Strong relationships help develop and nurture emotional bonds, provide direction in times of crisis, and offer a sense of belonging.
Connections: Relationships can help enhance personal and life experiences through connections that matter.
Strength: Relationships are a source of stability in times of change and great crisis, providing strength to survive difficult situations.
Balancing Both:
Balance: Being wealthy doesn’t always mean the absence of struggle. The combination of good friends and ample financial strength goes a long way.
Commitment: As you said, relationships need partners’ equally shared contributions to be successful.
In the end, yes, money can buy comfort and open up opportunities, but for me, the deep bonds that money cannot offer match every other. Your take on valuing wealth in relationships is worth appreciating. It is learning how, no matter how wealthy we are, these relationships always hold a special value.

A deep truth you’ve explored. Yes, one may specify that while money is important, securing life’s necessities and providing comfort is temporary. It gets earned, spent, and then earned all over again. What is deeper than money is the nature of relationships and the focus of this context. Trust, loyalty, and support within these bonds create a feeling of belongingness and emotional strength that money cannot buy.
Wealth In Money
Inflation: The price of financial instruments might increase or decrease because of market or personal reasons.
Protection: Ensures a decent life, creates chances, and protects in unfortunate circumstances.
Wealth In Relations
Permanency: Relationships, with some effort put into them, become the source of lifetime sustenance.
Caring: Love and care, as a strong support system, help one sail through difficult life situations and also enjoy life.
Development and Enhancement: Relations allow a person to develop better and give more valuable real-life experiences that money can’t buy.
To wrap it up, the argument is that while financial wealth certainly provides a degree of material comfort, relational wealth provides a more profound and expandable sense of holistic health and happiness. It is a question of balance and understanding that both dimensions of our lives are important. True wealth is a combination of sufficient financial resources and richness of life through relationships.
