To ask, what does prosperity mean to you?

[TigerYiger]

I'm taking part in a group that asks me to define prosperity for myself, and I'm lost!

AIBU to ask your definition?

Thank you for any thoughts or a single word.

If we are talking financially,decent annual income in retirement and money on deposit and mortgage free.

Having survived two primary cancers in the last seven years, health prosperity is not a given, ergo I concentrate on living my best life via financial fluidity and the ability to say ah F#ck it let us try and grab a week in the sun at short notice.

So the two are kind of going hand in hand for me.

Prosperity for me is secure unconditional family love and support, health concerns that are diagnosed and managed well and enough money to feed my little family with good nutrition and occasional treat. This to me feels like prosperity.

To me it’s good health for my loved ones and me, financially comfortable enough to know my bills will be paid and we have enough to enjoy ourselves, a decent home to be comfortable in.

It means to be successful, or thrive, Sp what makes you feel successful and thriving ?

Prosperity for me means happiness and security.

happy with my life, happy family, healthy.

security regarding money, retirement, mortgage free houses, basically you dont need to think about money again and can spend money as you like.

Click bait

well tbqh it means wealth to me.

Abundance.

Health, loved ones, finances.

Having the right conditions to make you flourish.

To have the financial security to keep the roof over my head and pay the bills. Money does not buy happiness, but it buys security and not having that security is damaging to a person's very soul. To live without a home is to sink into the depths. I thank the Divine for my home every day. Then i am blessed to have the one remaining member of my family, as the rest have passed. To know our lineage is truly a privelege. And to maintain an open heart, regardless of the knocks and pain that life can throw our way. The connections we make truly matter.

What sort of group is it OP?

Thank you all for your replies and for sharing your thoughts here, it's such a personal subject and is shaped so differently between the replies here.

Prosperity is linked to time and choice for me, the feelings about money and abundance really calls me out on deep seated fears. Hmm. Thank you for the food for thought x
