National World - LocalTV

How do you define wealth - is it about indulging in the finer things in life or does true wealth lie in freedom and the quality time you share with family and friends?

00:00My sense is that money doesn't buy you happiness and so a lot of wealth seems to me to be like a lot of responsibility.

00:07There's a definite balance to be comfortable and to have what you might need or to be able to provide for the needs of those around you.

00:14But for me, having had family members who've been ill for a long time, money doesn't buy you health and actually you can't put a price on health.

00:22So experiences, time with family and friends to me are so much more important than having money.

00:28There's a need to have enough and then when I don't think we need to have anymore, we need to share the rest so that everyone can have enough.

00:33Not a great word on the wealth on the money side, it's wealth on life.

00:37I live in Ilkley, if you take a look at Ilkley moors, I go up on the Ilkley moors regularly and the wealth there cannot be counted, it's immense.

00:46We are very lucky to be in Yorkshire, great county, so very happy.

00:51Money, very useful, helps, but there are other things to be regarded apart from just money.

00:57A lot of unhappy millionaires around.
