How much does a person need to feel rich?

一个人感到富有需要有多少钱？

A recent survey from Charles Schwab revealed that a net worth of $2.27 million would be enough. But that wouldn't be enough for some people. And for others, wealth isn't a financial concept at all.

一项近期来自嘉信理财公司的研究显示，拥有227万美元的净资产将会让人感到富有。但这对部分人而言还不够。而对于其他人，富有根本不是一个金融概念。

Charles Schwab：嘉信理财，一家总部设在旧金山的金融服务公司

net worth：净资产

That's why finding what makes you feel wealthy takes a strategy rather than a single specific number, says Bradley Nelson, of Lyon Park Advisors.

Lyon Park Advisors的BN说到，这就是为什么在寻找让你感到富有的因素时，需要的是一种策略，而不是一个具体的数字。

Matt Doran is a wealth manager in St. Louis with a personal net worth of "more than $5 million, but less than $20 million." He's not fixed on a number, though, and has no intentions of slowing down.

MD是圣路易斯的一位财富经理，个人净资产“超过500万美元，但不到2000万美元”。不过他并没有固定在一个数字上，也没有放慢（赚钱）速度的打算。

wealth manager：财富经理

no intentions：没有意图

For Doran, the drive to continue earning money and growing his assets builds security for his family and allows him to support the things that give his life meaning — the people, places and causes that he loves.

对于MD而言，驱动他不停赚钱和增加他的资产的动力可以为他的家庭建立安全感，并且可以支持他做赋予他生命意义的事情——他所爱的人、地方和事业。

cause：原因；事业；起因 （这里翻译为事业

"And $2.27 million doesn't get me there, " he says. "Not even close."

他说到：“而227万美元并不能让我实现这个愿景，甚至差的很远。”

Not even close：差远了

Ford was 21 years old when he inherited $2 million from his grandfather.

当Ford从他爷爷那里继承了200万美元时，他仅有21岁。

Ford says that at first, his inherited wealth caused a lot of pressure and stress. "The pressure comes from having the money and feeling like I can't let my grandpa down and I can't let my son down, " he says.

Ford起初说到，他继承这些财富让他备感压力。

他说：“这份压力来自拥有这些钱并让我感觉我不能让我的爷爷失望，我也不能让我的儿子失望。”

inherit：继承

Ultimately, the money that caused his anxiety helped him and his wife out a lot when he experienced loss of income due to his health. It helps his family have more of what they value the most — time together.

最终，这些引起他的焦虑的钱在他亲历了因为健康缘故损失收入时，对他和他的妻子帮助很大。这让他的家庭拥有了更多他们最看重的东西——在一起相处的时间。

"Money certainly gives us more of that, " says Ford. "It gives us security that we'll have more of that in the future and feeling secure in that makes me feel wealthy."

Ford说到：“钱当然给我们的远多于一起相处的时间，它给了我们安全感，我们将在未来拥有更多的这样的东西并且感到安全，这让我感到富有。”

certainly：当然
