Not at all. I have enough in my allocated pension account to see me through to my final breath and a house to live in. I keep getting pestered by real estate agents to sell it and they want to provide me with a valuation of the property. I tell them that I am not interested because it will not be sold before I am dead. Until then, the valuation is irrelevant.

In reality, I am aware that my house isn't worth much but the land is valuable. The house is valuable to me as my home of 60 years come next February, and as a place where family can find shelter and come together for celebrations.

My brother in law was briefly a millionaire some decades ago. He won A$1,000,000 on Tatts Lotto but before long it was all gone. Today I am better off than he is.

It's too bad what happened to your brother in law.
 

Call it sour grapes but I don't think it is, but I've never strived to be wealthy. I always wanted to have a roof on my head, food on the table, good heath, and change in my pocket. So far except for a few minor setbacks, I've accomplished that. Hypothetically speaking, I have always dreamed that if I ever won the lottery, I would start an animal rescue. Since I'm no spring chicken, I probably wouldn't do it now, but I sure would help some of them out. Of course, you have to play the lottery to win the lottery which I seldom have done.
