Wealth- What's it to you?

I saw this ad a couple of weeks back in Fortune.  I frankly did not know about Barclays Wealth, and I don't believe I am their target audience for this ad ;-)

That said, I was attracted to the message - and it got me thinking.  What exactly does Wealth mean to me?  I have been mulling over what it really means to me. 

Wealth is important - and for me, the primary goal for Wealth Creation is to ensure the well being of my family- wife & children and to ensure that all their basic needs are taken care of in case something happens to me.  Secondly - I want my daughters to have a financial safety net that I did not have as I started working and building my life - so that they are always free to test their limits in this world without having to worry about "what if..". Lastly, I look at wealth to give me a platform to do other things that matter to me in life - starting an orphanage (sometime in the future) and helping people in need - especially old people. 

Wealth, unfortunately is a necessity!  Without it, one cannot do many of the good that one may otherwise want to. 

This ad was great. I may never be a Barclay's Wealth customer- but then, this ad did touch me.  For that I will always remember this ad.
