There are lots of different trappings of wealth. A big house. A nice car. Exotic vacations. First-class flights? Private flights? Not everyone can afford these things. In fact, that\\u2019s sort of the point\\u2014they are considered fancy and elite because of how elusive they are.\\xa0

But is this really wealth? Or is this just materialism?\\xa0

On Christmas (and it\\u2019s the Dec 25th entry in *The Daily Da*d book, too), we quoted Paul Orfalea, the billionaire founder of Kinkos, who defined \\u2018success\\u2019 as having kids who come home for the holidays. He was saying that there are lots of wealthy people out there who don\\u2019t have that, who are estranged from their family. But what\\u2019s interesting about this idea is that it is largely focused on where you and your kids end up later in life, when they have a choice about how much they see you.
