Good question! A lot of people struggle with this one. Globalization emphasizes man made wealth, which is perfectly ok. It really comes down to a fine balance. For me, natural wealth, which I interpret it as love, beauty, sun, sea, water, air, plant and animal life...to have the most meaning in my life because it personally touches me, moves me and affects me. It trumps man made wealth any day. However, I am grateful for all the man-made wealth I am surrounded with and know fully well how sheltered I am by it and what a great comfort it is to have it and enjoy it. So, I'd say the difference between natural and man-made wealth is that the first one is priceless. Thank you, namaste answered 16 Nov '10, 14:08 daniele I can see you appreciate the things of nature, our natural wealth, and you also enjoy things created by man, our man-made wealth. Thank you for putting together your answer in a very coherent way. I enjoy reading it!

I love the word priceless that daniele used. For me natural wealth is that knowing and feeling on a physical, mental and emotional level that all is well and I am right where I should be without a shadow of a doubt. Man made wealth is the physical, material wealth we accumulate and hopefully enjoy on our physical journey. Although there is nothing wrong whatsoever with man made wealth, the key is to not become attached to it and what we do accumulate should be used in a way that is beneficial to others as well as ourselves. I don't think God, Source or Universe intended for us to feel lack or deprivation on this physical plane. answered 16 Nov '10, 14:45 Michaela Yes, I agree that we should not become attach to our wealth, and of course we should always help the less fortunate. Thank you for inspiring answer.

I would say true wealth is natural and man made. Why make a seperation? it would just be another reason to blame someones lack instead of taking responsability for ones own wealth. There is nothing but abundant wealth for all and then some. Now I ask, "What does being wealthy look like to you?" answered 16 Nov '10, 19:46 RPuls Love, happiness and abundance.............

Thank you for your interesting answer. What does being wealthy means to me: from a spiritual point of view, ones with God/universe, I, spiritual awakening, and enlightenment, and from a physical/material point of view love, good health, happiness, friendship, education/career/money, spiritual growth, and I will continue to pray for world peace!

Natural wealth to me means things like joy, happiness, health. Perhaps man made wealth could help with these things but your quality of consciousness has the ability to be wealthy even if you don't have money. Here is a good example:
