What does being rich mean in your perspective?

[redsun114]

It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?

For me, being rich is having money, and being wealthy is having time, so between the two I prefer to be wealthy, some rich people have no time for healthy relationships, and do not have time to be themselves and find peace, you can have all the money in the world but if you do not have time to your family and your time is invested to make more money you lack the quality of life and that's money cannot buy.

Rich is associated with having so much money and afford to buy anything and live a lavish lifestyle, I have seen lonely people rich people regret that they've spent all their time making a lot of money and straining their relationships with other people, so for me rich is not only having money but having a good relationship to your family to your fellowmen and your creator and having a contented life.

People in different situations will have a different mindset about what being rich means. Someone who doesn't have money would say that they are ready to make any sort of compromise in their lives only to have a lot of money, even if it's about getting away from their family and friends, on the other hand, those who have a lot of money and make a lot of money but don't have any real friends or relationships will think that they will give away all their money only to have these things.

Life isn't fair to everyone, and one cannot have everything they need or want in their life. Even if you get all the wealth and everything in the world, there will still be an unfilled spot somewhere in your life after all that you have, and no matter how hard you want, you won't be able to fill that spot at all.

In my opinion, being rich is when you no longer have to worry about all the costs of living, rising food prices, rising petrol or electricity prices are no longer obstacles because both your income and investment returns are enough to cover everything, even though the money you have can't live with everything luxury goods, but if you can stay calm with all the inflation that is happening it is wealth.
Also, the investment that I have can guarantee a good life in my old age without having to depend on anyone.

That is true, being rich for me doesn't mean you can afford the luxury lifestyle.
But you are not worried about inflation, rising prices and the likes because you can afford to pay without worry.
You may be not living in luxury, but you have everything you need, food, shelter and still can afford to unwind from time to time.
So yes, this social status depends on how people look at. Sometimes you feel you are already rich if you have no debt from anyone.

Defining wealth is of course from money the more money the more you think you are rich.

Some people say all kinds of things but remember all of that requires money to cover your needs, including fun, buying goods, food regardless of price, what you want can be bought and other needs all of that is money that must be available.

So I interpret that money is indeed important in our lives, even our own status can be captured higher than the caste they say.

Being a rich person doesn't just refer to material things; it can also refer to things in general. So for me, what the OP did was miss the question he made in the title. He should specify what kind of wealth he is talking about.

Is it material? or other wealth you speak of? because, of course, our communities will answer differently here on this forum platform. Because it is not specified whether it is about buying luxury things, traveling around the world, helping as long as you like, etc.

That's the common belief and formula for what is being rich is. It's all about having a lot of material things, houses, luxury cars, everything that you can think of.

And being rich will make you wealthy because you can conserve energy for your well being for which is what we belief about health is wealth, right?

You can buy nutritious foods and you don't have to go on a hard diet where you can pick what you eat. But the problem is, most of the rich are into junk and fast foods until they realize they need a healthy and balance diet.

The definition of rich in my opinion is also quite random, in fact, quite a lot of people say that the definition of rich according to them is a healthy body/mental and a complete family, currently, i live a quite comfortable life, the business i have built is also quite stable, my family is also very harmonious then it can be said that for now, i am rich enough, while people out there see wealth only as money so that when they get sick, the money they have is used up to pay for their medical treatment. 
There is a wise sentence that i once heard, written that although money is a measure of wealth, true wealth is a comfortable mind and a calm heart, That sentence is quite great imo.

From my point of view the rich are those who live in peace, can eat 3 meals properly, don't have to worry about what to eat tomorrow and have saved money for the future. Now if I look from my own position to those who have much less money than me, I feel rich. And if I look at those who have more money than me, I consider them rich. Now many consider his own position rich, while many consider his own position poor. Now let's talk about me, whatever money I have, my goal is to increase more money. Now I consider myself rich because there are many poorer people than me.

Rich is defined depending on the context, the rich context in this discussion is closely related to economics and finance but I did not find your statement related to the discussion of economic standards which are included in the rich category, so let me complete your statement that rich has material wealth standards that are useful for family needs, running the business you manage, having an emergency fund for medical expenses and other needs.

Even though my economic level is not classified as rich, I am grateful to have gotten a new job to increase my monthly passive income, I have enough income for the needs of my small family and allocate some funds for emergency savings.

To me richness goes beyond financial stability ,Thats why I will define richness as the ability of one To be financially stable, morally wise, humble, cares for people , knowledgeable enough To understand people And the ability To treat his or her Fellow Person with Good mind, Respect people’s Choice And as same Time Care for the needy .

Before you can be financially rich, you must be mentally rich. You look at people around you who are worse off than you. If you look at those people who are in a worse position than you, you will think that you are a much richer and happier person. You are doing well and you don't have to worry about what might happen next then you are definitely a happy person and you are a rich person but if you are doing well and looking at those who are doing better than you then you will never be well. There should be addiction to money income but that is normal because nothing abnormal is good. To increase your money, work harder and focus on your work but at the end of the day try to convince yourself that you are better off and richer than others.

If someone is financially stable and does not lack any thing that can be acquire with money such a person I termed as a rich, though some people may be rich in other areas too but my impression of being rich has to do with the person ability to use money at their disposal to get whatever they want and my own country rich people who have money earn a lot of respect and more popular than people who might be rich with knowledge, being rich in term of money superceded any other form or type of richness, if you are rich in term money you can use it to acquire knowledge therefore the best type of richness is having abundant money.

Being rich on a context is a state of time that one is having peacefully in health, the possibilities to get reach to an utmost desires and the pace of being appreciative
