Only insomuch as I have several goals in terms of savings, retirement, hobbies, and a small bucket list.
I don't really consider myself "well off" yet I have obtained (by myself) a house, several expensive hobbies and forget that my friends don't have nearly as much ability to absorb financial debt or expenses. I'm the only one in my family to have a college degree or professional employment for that matter and the next closest person is there because she's married to someone who got some kind of settlement from the military.

This is thought provoking. Could be a statement of 'affluenza', whereby a person who has a lot still manages to view themselves as impoverished relative to others. On the other hand, could indicate contentedness given that you do count yourself in the upper class. The 'lowest limit of the upper class' certainly leaves a lot of room for poetic license.
Is increasing your personal wealth still a major priority for you?
