For some reason, the human brain is indoctrinated when they hear about wealth. Most people's heads come to mind as having abundant wealth, luxurious items and being free from financial problems. In fact, if you narrow it down further, the meaning of wealth will produce many definitions within it. Happiness in the household and health are also wealth that cannot be valued with money.
People who have a lot of money can buy whatever they need, but happiness and health cannot be bought with money. For me, living happily and being blessed with health is a wealth that cannot be valued.

It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?
People ascribed richness to owning materials things, being influential in the society and occupying one government position or the other.Others see richness as the ability for them to be able to afford whatever they need for sustainability and to live withing their means and also be contented with what they have.
So richness can be viewed from different lens, depending on which side of the divide you choose to go for.
I personally would consider being rich as posessing many materialistic stuff as well, since its easiest to determine, doesn't mean other people can't have different opinion, it relative to each individual. but i will follow the general meaning of it around general public.
therefore having good income and without debt come first, then peace can take place after that, because after all, thats definitely the exact reason money is required primarily, to find peace.

Defining wealth is always different from person to person, and this is my version of it.- Meeting all the needs of the household
- Have savings and emergency and other insurance for the family
- Having a big business/enterprise as the main income
- Have some diversified investments (BTC/gold/property and other assets).
- House + Car is a necessity for our daily life
- Have prosperity for family and loved ones including relatives.
If I have fulfilled the above then I will be called rich, if other people have different views then I will not ignore it.
As they say, money doesn't buy happiness, but the key is not to lack it when you need it.
And when everyone should not lack money when they need it to make themselves happy and become rich in life. Everyone must continue to work by implementing tips that are useful for themselves so that they can continue to become rich without feeling like they are lacking anything. But what I'm surprised about is that people around me only judge rich people by their luxurious clothes, lots of money and also by how much wealth they have in material form.

Apparently, we consider rich people who have more things than the necessities of life. Big cars, big palaces, big business and land are the signs of rich people. Every desire and every facility in the world is at their doorstep. They never have to worry about money. In case of illness, they can get treatment in any expensive hospital in any country of the world.
Their income is more than their expenses. This is everyone's perception of rich people, but in my opinion, rich is the one who is easily satisfied with the necessities of life and is completely healthy. If you have peace in your life, you are rich. There is no limit to wealth, but the more it is, the more the lust of man increases. In my opinion, if you have no disease, you are physically fit, then you are the richest man in the world.

Once I'm financially stable, in the sense that I can take care of my daily needs, cater to my family needs and loved ones and build a dream house, buy a dream car, marry a dream wife, and have an investment portfolio like investing in the real estate which has been my childhood dream business, own some companies and lastly, invest in Gold and Bitcoin then I will tend to comfortably say that I'm rich.
Big houses, there are more than 1 car and they are earning huge money that even their huge spending they still have extra money. Thats my perspective of rich people having all the assets that an average person finds hard to obtain, and mostly their salary or let's say their income is 10x the average person's salary. I do live in a 3rd world country, and this is what I noticed in my neighbors so it is very easy to distinguish those kinds of people from middle-class or poor people by taking a look on their houses and what car they are driving.
As they say, money doesn't buy happiness, but the key is not to lack it when you need it.
In my own world, been wealth means having more than you need, living in a paradise and capable of feeding millions of people, you don't have to, just saying, wealth is different from rich.
Been rich is living a comfortable life, but can't afford everything still, you know, you still have some boundaries on what you can afford, but honestly, everyone have their own definition of been rich and been wealthy.
To me it's not only about having all the resources and assets, but been healthy plays the biggest role in this, you can't enjoy your wealthy life if you aren't healthy, that's why my parents always say that health is the real wealth, while j am climbing my steps up to a higher level I don't joke with my health, I always engage in intense exercise every two days and I take good stuffs for my body, many people ignore their bodies but there is more to the body been given to you, take care of yourselves.

Being rich means living within your means. You do not join the trends of buying flashy cars, top fashion branded clothing, buying houses in some island in the world where you would never live but because your friends are doing it, you join them. Being rich is being able to sleep with two eyes closed every night, walking barefooted so that you can actually feel the grass, helping the poor and uplifting the weak not showing off on social media for the fake likes and love. There are a lot about what being rich means to me. These are just themes of them.
Rich people also have different styles, there are other rich people who buy expensive jewelry, luxury cars, and it depends on what they want to buy. It seems that these people I'm talking about expose that they are rich, most of them are people who got rich because of being influencers, who experienced a lot of money income so they always show that they have a lot of money.
But there are other rich people who are not obvious that they are rich, it is simple to dress but the brand of clothing is also very expensive, but you will not see them openly wearing expensive jewelry and luxury cars, these are the tycoons businessman, like the owner of San Miguel beer, Gokungwei, Lucio tan, and Mark Z. that they are far different from the influencers who got rich from vlogging, compared to the tycoon businessmen I mentioned.

Rich for other people is about living with those expensive luxury cars, having all the material things that are giving them the status of life way higher than the others. Well, that's what rich to them but if we're going to be the simple type of living in richness, it is you have everything you need. You don't live on a luxury life but just a simple life without having any pressures at all. You're okay even if you don't have the most expensive house, clothes, you're still happy with the way you live and that's one simple life of what richness to most of us.

To me, being rich means achieving stability in your finances, knowledge, and every aspect of your life that needed improvement. While many define wealth as having more than enough money and living a comfortable life, I believe richness goes beyond finances to include moral and emotional well-being. It's about finding a balance in all aspects of life that hold significance.
My questions,1. How do you define 'stability'?
2. Is it possible to reach the stability in all aspect of our life?
As far as I know, when we are talking about rich, it is related to the money or financial or wealth. Be rich, means we have an established financial condition or we have excess of money. To reach this, we surely need to have good jobs that can guarantee much money to earn weekly or monthly. If we are only an average employee/worker, it seems difficult to get much money.
Regarding the stability on moral/emotional, it is related to how we learn the life values. It is nothing to do with our jobs, it is related to how we learn deeply about our religion and how we learn the ethics in social life.
It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?
Just simple, be able to afford your basic needs, and being in your comfort zone. I will say peace and health can also be counted as riches, because someone can have all the money in the world but the person has no peace secondly if money can buy a good health I think wealthy people will never die again, according to a song writer "money does not buy happiness" and am still doubting, in summary if a man can afford his basic needs his said to be rich 
It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?
When we say rich it means you have more than enough. Financially stable that one doesn't need to work because money already works for him/her. But the definition of rich for me is not entirely focus on money. For me, being free to any illness, having sufficient finances to provide for our needs and a complete family are my own definition of being rich. So we can say we're rich if we have contentment. It's just depends on how we define this word.I agree with you, if we are satisfied with what we have then that person deserves to be said to be rich because they don't have to force themselves to look rich in the eyes of other people.
Some people are fulfilling their desires and wants in life, despite not fully having a financial stability to provide all your essential needs. It's maybe for the reason to resist the temptation to buy the wants or to meet up the expectation of the society that you could afford something pricey, which is really dumb cause you could focus on buying things you really need than into luxury, which you can use the money to invest and then later on once you achieved financial stability, then that's the time you have the freedom to buy things you really want, this is for my opinion only.
And I also agree with your statement, rich cannot only be measured by money, but as well for the health of the person and the peace of mind they have. That's prove that they are rich in terms of having a good health, we can observed that it could be attain by all of the people, still it's really hard to achieve so it can be considered as achievement/successful. Comparison could really destroy things that we can consider already

While everyone can have a different vision of what it entails to be rich, society at large sells a vision that is very difficult to reach, as a person will need to get a huge amount of assets and spend a massive amount of money to reach that status, and there is nowhere near enough money for most people to reach those levels of wealth, but if someone can reign on their desires then becoming rich is possible, however a more integral approach needs to be taken as it is often the case only wealth is considered when it comes to determine if someone is rich or not, when things like health or love should also be major factors, since it does not matter if you are the wealthiest person alive if you are always sick and you have no one you can call a friend to share a laugh with.
Different visions and different goals, I think that is fair and the matter of realizing it again for each of us is difficult or easy because in my opinion if we think that being rich is too excessive and unrealistic about the position we will achieve it will certainly be very difficult to achieve. achieve it and vice versa, if we think it is realistic to be rich then it is not impossible that this can be achieved.But it comes back to each of us if we want a different life as well as the definition of rich.

Of course, by saving money we will have savings for the future. Living rich in my opinion can manage income and expenses well, so that it can produce a lot of assets in possession. Rich in terms of finance is certainly everyone's dream but it is not easy because there are many processes that must be passed, people who wisely use their money so that their lives can be guaranteed are people who have a good mindset. They can manage good finances by preparing and thinking about the future that must be faced. Because basically only we will determine the future.In my opinion, if you are rich only about finance, of course life will not be happy, but a wise person can manage his life, of course he has a good mindset. Living with rich financial aspects of course this will make us a person who is seen. But it's not just about that, it's important to save for the future so that our lives are guaranteed in the future, which means we can manage our finances well, so that we will make the life we want for ourselves. So in conclusion, I think being financially rich is the hope of many people.
for me, that's all we need to have a peaceful life on this earth. you don't need luxury materials to say you are rich. maybe, when you define richness, in terms of money, that's when you will look at the bank account of that person.
but true wealth for me is just like you enumerated. if you are at peace with yourself and contented with your life, i believe, you are already rich than most. and in time, you will also find the true meaning of life and live with it.

When you’re considered rich, you’ve got a shit load of money/and assets. It’s that simple. If you pull up to an event with a Rolls-Royce which can be considered to be a prime example of what a luxury good is, you’ll be screaming I’m rich without having to say a word. You won’t see a poor/average income earner thinking about luxury items for obvious reasons. While you actually don’t need luxury items to prove your worth, they’re a good indicator of individuals with deep pockets. .
Peace and contentment are great feelings and traits to have but contentment and peace with oneself cannot make you richer than most.
Yes. Part of Society's View If someone has a lot of assets, BTC, USD, and Gold as well as vehicles, houses, and land are visual symbols in seeing someone's financial capabilities that he is rich. But if there are those who have felt and made this confession, that is more than enough for me, I think that is what is right, but if there are those who are not yet full, it is like drinking sea water. The more we drink, the thirstier we feel...(Just to illustrate).
For me, health is the main thing and gratitude is the most important.
