Words have meaning given context, I pointed to the definition that fit the context. When talking about wealth and assets, “money” means anything that could be easily converted to cash. I didn’t copy the first because it wasn’t relevant to the context.
I provided two to drive home the point.
How about an example. If I said, “how much money does Elon Musk have?”, that would obviously include his stocks and whatnot because he probably only has a few million in actual cash, if that. If you ask how much money I have on the street, I’d assume you’re talking about cash in my wallet, or maybe cash in my checking, and I wouldn’t include my stocks or even savings balance.
Context matters a lot.
Are you saying that if I asked how much money you have in your retirement account, you’d say $0 because you only have stocks? If so, that’s really weird.
