Agreed, my wealth is building, but I'm not well off. I don't want to be viewed as struggling, though in some respects I still am, and likely will be for some time. That said, I've spent the past 10 or so years really focussing on comfort above all else. I've got all the tools/toys I need for my hobbies, a stable and livable income (hard to come by these days) as well as growing savings and investments.

While I'm not well off, the only showy parts of my life are my vehicles. Everything is relatively low-key or intended purely for me, such as gaming rig, 3d printer etc.

As a former (and possibly returning) shiftworker, having multiple forms of transport is near compulsory due to my location and nearby infrastructure shortfalls.

Where convenient I will usually ride my skateboard (eskate) for shorter trips weather permitting, whereas for pleasure I have a motorcycle, and finally for inclement weather or when I need to carry items, the car.

Apart from these things, the only thing i could want for is to not be renting, I'm glad that is almost the only and largest difficulty currently facing me. I do not envy those less fortunate than I.
