We have talked about money and happiness for a while,and we hope to have much much money in our accounts. Here is a question,being rich is the same as having a lot of money? How about spirit wealthy? But to be honest,if someone is poor but nice,kind,energetic and with dreams in his mind,I won't consider him as a rich man.Maybe I'm a little shallow,but that's the real me. What about you guys? How would you define being rich?

i guess it depends to the person as some rich people are still trying to be down to earth and offer help to the poor.besides they have all the money to spend for gym and other medical operation like liposuction to stay sexy and have money to travel around the world to have fun. it depends to how they handle their money.

I guess it all depends on your own definition of "rich". Like you said that is how you view the term "rich". The most common thought that comes to mind when we hear the word "rich" is having plenty of material things but for me its actually being 'abundant'. Regardless whether its material things or having abundance in friends, family, memories, pets, etc. Though, it should be specified when someone is saying "rich". Because people would originally think that they are pertaining to material things. Well, its just the definiton that is widely accepted and so to avoid misunderstandings, when using the word "rich" but meaning being "abundant in immaterial things" then they have to specify. But then again, thats just me.^_^
