The article discusses a YouGov survey commissioned by HSBC UK, revealing how the perception of wealth has shifted since early human civilizations. Historically, wealth was tied to visible possessions like tools and food. Today, 49% of respondents value investments as wealth, closely followed by the desire to retire early and travel. Interestingly, personal relationships and a good work-life balance are also seen as indicators of wealth by younger generations. This survey underscores a changing perspective where material items are less significant than lifestyle quality and personal fulfillment.
