Richonomics 101 in Post-Bush America

I used to feel like a fool for not being rich.

I'd see friends taking great vacations, hiring nannies, buying fabulous cars and wearing expensive jewelry.

And I'd wonder, what's wrong with me that I'm not rich? During the dot.com bubble in the '90s, especially, it seemed like everyone else knew a money secret.

But not now.

Right now, I'm feeling rich - not so much for what I have but for what I don't have.

I don't have a subprime mortgage. I don't have any credit card debt, either. And I don't owe more on my house than I can sell it for.
