Topic: What does being rich mean in your perspective? - page 5. (Read 1277 times)

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.

Being rich from my point of a view is not just financial. Social Status Knowledge carries social status to each person to reach their status etc. is to be rich You have a lot of wealth if your personality is significance to people and if you are significance to society then you can be financially rich but not socially rich.A wealthy person can be considered to be a person who owns financial assets and is capable of performing social roles etc. Wealth must be achieved mentally because your mindset will set you apart from society and give you separate respect and importance.

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.

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. 

Of course, if you are rich, you can do everything you want to do in life; you can live what you want to happen every day that comes to you. And when you say rich, it means having financial freedom. There is no rich person who is not financially free; there is no such thing.

Now, the benefit of being a rich person, apart from having financial freedom, is that you also have the ability to help most people during calamities such as typhoons, earthquakes, and others. And you also have the opportunity to provide opportunities such as providing free medical missions or health care and giving scholarships to other children who are not capable of studying. These are just some of the things I see and know.

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.

A person's wealth does not only mean being financially independent, but a person's wealth means being able to afford everything he needs for his life very well. If you think about it, you will see that people who have a lot of wealth in the world have a different way of life than others, which serves as an example to other ordinary people.

I found that this type of person does not come from the rich, but rather people from the middle class and they always want to show off any purchase they consider expensive. Rich people buy expensive items mostly for investment because all of us know that expensive items will have good resale value for investment. Rich people also see opportunities to buy expensive items and they always think about how these items can generate profits in the long term. Expensive goods have high investment value because limited products will usually be more valuable in the future.

Rich people understand better how to treat money and that's why they get richer not the other way around. I agree with your view that money has a spirit (soul) which will ultimately stay with people who are able to look after it and make it more productive because whatever money we have, if it is not used properly, it will one day run out

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.

Being rich means you know how to manage your expenses and be able to save from time to time. Being rich does not mean that you can flaunt all the luxuries in life, but being rich for me is to live below your means and have no problems in meeting all your needs and wants. And since you are rich, you know how to use your money wisely and create more assets than liabilities.

However, being rich does not only limit into financial aspects. If you are rich, then you have also a rich mindset that will lead you to the life that you desire and an emotional stability that has capacity to maintain the balance even under some stressful circumstances.

except peace and quite will never last long, i think there's no such thing as peace and quiet if quite literally everything in this world trying to get you out of it, if you're working, you will face many problems, if you just sit even though you're rich the investment you've made or the inflation will try to have their way messing your financial condition.
there's just many thing that could disrupt life, the best course of action I think is just to get stronger and stronger through various means and increasing income is one of them.
therefore even if you face many problems it won't be a big of a deal and it will have no effect to your life completely.
thats the only way to live in peace and quiet.

We have rich and wealth, if wealth is having generational money that can take care of you, your children and their childrens to come then been rich would be having money that can take care of you currently. Been rich has stages or I'll say types but rich in a simple terms to me means been debts free. When you don't have debt and can afford a comfortable life above the average life then you're rich to me. As I said earlier we have different types of riches as all fingers can't be equal but generally a rich man isn't in debt, can handle his needs and also take care of things he wants but obviously he won't have to want things above his financial capabilities. I can be rich but can't afford to buy a $1 million dollars car like billionaires do but yet I'm rich and can afford probably a $100k car.


This isn't about been rich because intelligent rich people don't spend carelessly, they'll buy things they want but they'll put into consideration the price. Not looking at the price tag is a mentality for the middle class people that wants to act rich. A rich man would likely look at the price but that won't stop him from buying it because he can afford it. If you have money and you don't respect it (manage it) properly it'll leave you. Money has a spirit and it only goes to those who can utilized it effectively that's why the rich keeps getting richer because they understand money while the poor man reminds poor.

This is a normal perspective that everyone must always think about because after all we already consider ourselves as rich people when we have no difficulty in surviving in life which means we can buy anything without having to look at the finances we have and fulfill our primary, secondary and tertiary needs if necessary. But on the other hand, the definition of wealth will also change when we have been able to reach a position where our lives are better because we as humans have ambition and greed so we will definitely feel that we are always lacking and there will be other things we want to aim for in the end.
I am in this position that indeed when I feel that what I am doing right now and feel fulfilled economically but on the other hand there is always hope to reach places that I have not reached before because of the level of ambitiousness and greed that must exist in us as humans.

Being able to provide all these needs is not easy especially in times like this when everything is so expensive, so definitely if you can all this can be provided then you should be acknowledged rich, and it the reason we want to earn is for us to be able to afford, we work because we want to eat except for extra things like cloth and luxury and does are all in addition for more comfort if not if the basis is settled the rest is just extra, I noticed something about people who don't have a house all they care about is food and nothing else for the main time, and why the love of money has increased because people care so much for luxury these days and want to be recognized and have the girls because they have Bentley and many more that why people want money by all means.

The definition of wealth that I want is quite simple.
When I wake up in the morning I am in good health and still have money to support and fulfill all my family's needs now and in the future, and always carry out worship and share. And maybe the definition of wealth that I want is like this.
Physically healthy
Spiritual health
Financial health
Spiritual health
I think that's what everyone needs, to want to live in peace and quiet.

Bro, I think the Op is talking about the other people's perspective about richness. He just wants to the sight of other people and how they define richness and this selection is good because every person in the world feels himself a rich person but if he doesn't have enough cars, houses, and a luxurious lifestyle then how he is rich? The richness means according to me that you have a lot of bank balance if you lose some funds you won't be sad. The things you mentioned are like the middle-class people who just fulfill their needs spending time in this universe, gone and that's it. I might be wrong in the above things but every person has their perspective and I do not consider your thought wrong but I think it will best suit the Middle-Class people.

According to the thoughts of many people richness implies that a person possess money in which he easily fulfil all the needs of his family and still has money to save for further use.Sometimes people don't have enough money but they can easily manage their home activities therefore they can also be termed as rich because poor people are those who even cannot eat meal well.

 If you are rich then you will not think about your expenses and you will not be worried about money so if you are able to spend money without thinking about it then you are rich.People with happy life and good health are also termed as rich so therefore we cannot say that having lots of money can guarantee your pleasure but if you are happy and satisfied with your life then you are rich.

Being rich is something of the mind, we don't have to acquire the latest expensive cars, planes or houses before we see ourselves as a rich individual. Riches comes from the mind and we have to display it by the way we talk and relate to things. When we have a mindset that contain information that vaould make us rich in weeks or days, that one is purely wgat bring out the outer riches in us.

Like we all know that information is power and couples with knowledge, we can do extra ordinary things that will create wealth for us. This is only of the reasons why I can be angry at people that have great skills but not ready to develop it. Creativity and information had brought riches to many people especially when we take a look at the billionaires and millionaires that we have today.

Their thinking faculties had pathed way for them to be on top of the world. We need to develop ourselves through acquiring skills that will take us to where we want to be tomorrow noy just putting our funds in buying liabilities that could perish anytime if we are not careful enough handling them. Some persons have great and creative mindsets but they are still in the level they are because they are not ready to develop it. It is high time we have to awake from our slumber to start making fabulous decisions.

If I can provide my basic and secondary needs, attend to my family needs, reach out to the needy and and those around me, then I am rich. I do not need to acquire numbers of cars, houses and other materials things of value (which isn't bad though) before I see myself as a rich person.  Yea  i should be able to solve my financial problems with ease.  All I need is comfort and stability then I am good to go.

All this boils down to one's mindset.  I have seen quite a good number of people who in my opinion are rich, yet they do not see themselves as rich people, probably because they have not reached the level they are aspiring to be or not gotten what they are aiming for. That's their mindset and they won't rest till they get to that point.

Others too might actually be pursuing self actualization. Having a purpose in life is everything for them. Living the life they've always dreamt of is a win for them. Being rich can be in form of different things.  It just depends on what you want.

Perhaps it would be better to take out partying and maybe put in some savings and investments. That is, if the person wants to remain rich. With inflation telling heavily on our finances, your savings alone no matter how substantial it may seem now may not be enough to cover daily expenses in the long run as well as emergencies that may suddenly arise.
Having a party can hardly be considered a daily need and there are more pocket friendly ways if I wanted to reward myself.
