Baltimore’s Pope of Trash, John Waters – that’s Maryland, not West Cork - has a simple yet profound concept of wealth: “My idea of rich is that you can buy every book you ever want without looking at the price, and you're never around assholes. They're the two things to really fight for in life.” 

Providing you’re not into antiquarian first editions, and you have robust personal boundaries, both of these goals are eminently achievable.
