How do you define rich?

[suryana]

Defining this cannot justify any opinion, because the definition of rich depends on the perception of each individual. Because the context is rich, it is calculated from the material, so sometimes there are people who have billions of money they think they are already rich. But on the other hand there are people who are far away with a value of trillions and they are rich in wealth. So it all depends from where we look. For myself, being rich does not have debt and is self-sufficient.

You're right that it's depending on everyone's perception of what a rich being is.

But one can justify his opinion about the definition of being rich, you just said that it's depending on the perception of each of us.

How would you define what is to be "rich"? Is it about having enough for living or is there something else that you would be looking to accomplish to be rich?
Is it 1 million USD? Is it 1000 bitcoin? what are your thoughts?

I think being rich is being able to do whatever we want, a lot of people are rich but they also owe a lot so that every day they always think about paying off debt, real riches are being able to buy anything and of course having time to do fun things

Yes, that's right, many people are rich but they are greedy and want to increase their wealth by doing business and their capital is in debt to the bank, when the market is not in line with their expectations, they despair, this is what makes many suicides, especially in Japan.

[herurist]

the richer the need the more and more, and continue to feel dissatisfied wanting to cultivate ambition that never runs out. the pursuit of wealth will never end. Rich is only a sight, because basically being rich doesn't make someone stop chasing.

In fact, there are various types of rich mindset depending on the person who defines their respective lives and the flow of their personal needs.

simple example: Person A sees person B as rich and lives a luxurious life, while person B sees person C as richer than him, and so on.

Based on this pattern, being rich is not a standard of living, but only social status in the eyes of the community, especially in terms of economy.

because this is the original nature of humans, because of the whole human being all have the same ambition and lead to dissatisfaction this of course there are those who do not admit it but consciously or not everyone has such a nature and as wealth increases, the ambition to add more and more and cycles like this won't end until we get old and even until we die.
it may sound like materialistic but paradigms like this are getting more and more developed and are very difficult to stop

Rich for me is someone that has a lot of excess money and have a lot of cashflow. In philosophical definition, for me a rich one is soneone that has done that he/she wanted to do in his life in shoet, someone is rich if they didn't have any regrets in life.

[bosede1]

To me, I will define it to mean being able to easily provide for the basic needs of life i.e food, shelter, and clothing without stress. Having money to cater for the essentials of life.

Yes right, no regrets in his life. Rich without the burden of debt, able to meet all the needs of himself and others. There is joy in it. I think everyone wants that . From now on, we will continue to learn how to manage our finances so that we can achieve what we want right now. And grateful after that happened.

You make an excellent point, but we all have our own perspectives on what it means to be wealthy. The most common are having a lot of money in their bank accounts and pockets, owning a mansion, owning a sports car, and being able to buy whatever they want. However, if you ask a pure heart person or a poor person, they will define wealth in terms of food, such as being able to eat three meals a day, owning a home (not renting or squatter). My own definition of wealth is having a modest home, a car or motorcycle, and enough money to retire.

So you think life is just about getting rich and putting all the money in bed? It would be very narrow patterns and ideals like that for a much more valuable life. Sometimes we have to be ourselves and not be as ambitious as someone over our heads. because all have different portions in various ways of life. Apart from all that, only gratitude is the savior for all greed.

[DOH!]

In my opinion, Wealth is just an empty definition and has no diagnostic category in practice, it just happens in people's minds, between people and that is different.  For example: poor people only expect wealth in the way that they think about such as enough food, enough food, enough to take care of their children's education,... etc. Others will be money, fame, houses, etc.  cars...etc.  Therefore, it does not have a standard definition.  Being rich is simply a life and activities that in their mind do not worry about money, called financial freedom.  It's quite similar Lol

Wealth is an infinite standard.

[Rahman11]

I think a rich person always holding wealth over their fundamental demand, it’s can be unlimited wealth like their demand.

Rich is where I can get a sense of security, away from disaster, no threat but still close to the warmth of family. We all certainly want to get rich status and the largest percentage that must be sought is money. Because money can almost buy all the necessities of our life, so the existence of money in my opinion can be a very strong supporter to become a rich person status.
Although there are things that money can't buy, it's only a small part.

I don't aim at things like that, it's true that life is much more valuable and different like other people is a good thing but sometimes we have to be more realistic because we live in an age where everything needs money and you believe it or not the life we live all leads to that , because the paradigm that is taught both in schools and in the surrounding environment is bound to lead to money.
it's true that everyone has a different portion and way to enjoy their life but on average for now everyone is required to earn money because at this time we are still stuck in a pattern that teaches that money is not everything, but everything needs money

Is it 1 million USD? Is it 1000 bitcoin? what are your thoughts?

Getting what I want, buying what I like without looking at the price, can provide benefits for the people around that is the definition of rich for me. What is certain is that you already have hundreds of assets, whether it's property, whether it's stocks, bitcoins and others. Which I can pass on to my children and grandchildren in the future.

Getting what you want isn't rich. Because if someone is in need of love and care you can't buy it with money. It is an inner feel. Maybe someone will be there to give love and care in exchange of money. That won't be true love and care...

Based on the above quote one who has the ability to fulfill his materialistic needs without any difficulty is rich. I agree on this statement.

For me, being rich is being financially stable. The type who has a comfortable place to live meets all daily needs, and does not think about the problem tomorrow or in the next few days about expenses. Those who can save money without thinking that they will lose money when they do so.

The definition of rich is of course different depending on human tastes, in my opinion being rich is being able to do what you like even though it is considered expensive by others, besides being rich you must also have free time, because most rich people like Bill Gates only sleep 4 hours per day and in my opinion he is not rich.

[King Khaizan]

Rich or poor someone also depends on the mindset they have. People with a consumptive mindset tend to be more difficult to get rich than people with a productive mindset.

You can't measure are you rich or not by myself.

But for me I think the definition of rich is being yourself and you can fulfill your dream with your own process and can achieve it later, whenever you need something you can buy it. But the most important one is you can't pleasure yourself with money and material but the mentality and emotion are what make each other people having different perception of rich.

Being rich is neither been attained through inheritance or came from pure hardwork and those things can really be seen when you do able to buy something that you do like without any struggles

or hindrances into your finances and since you are capable then that's what I do consider to be rich but there are things where we do talk about non tangible or physical things but in other aspects

like love,respect etc. then this isn't something that can be bought by money. Being rich on that part is also good because there are indeed things which cant really be bought.

There is no shortage of money and will not be busy for life.
But people are greedy, even if there are 10 million people, they will feel that they have no money.
But also have a healthy body and learn to enjoy life.

[Henrobakkara]

Having money in your account isn't going to define you being rich.
When you find yourself having peace of mind that you are not in danger whether your sons will murder you because they are interested in your inheritance or your wife is going to poison you because the money you have is more loved by her than you. That means you are richer than having millions in your wallet.

Well, I guess richness is subjective. But to some extent, you do need money. Yes, people might have all those problems you highlighted about being in danger just because of how much they have and I don't think people want to leave through life without being able to do something for themselves or their loved ones. You can have money and don't have peace of mind and you might still not have money and still don't have peace of mind. So at the end of the day, It is not just the quantity of money that makes a person rich but, that plus your mindset.
