Besides cars or housing, what says 'rich' or 'well off' to you?

That is hard to say. There are different kinds of well off people. There are some really wonderful well off people out there. One thing I think that comes to my mind is when a woman has perfect hair.

I think people who have an underground swimming pool or an alarm system in their home are well off. To me those things are pretty expensive and my family can't afford them. :)

Definitely big and nice house and expensive car give you a impression about someone being rich. Other than that I think someone is well off who goes on vacation aborod frquently or you can say goes for world tour. Also people can be considered rich who goes on cruise every now and then. There are some other small things also which can represent people as well off.

I would say those who are on Forbes 50 list. I think it's pretty obvious they have money in abundance. Plus if I see men or women taking their pets to pet salon or pet spa, then I think they are rich. I only go there once or twice a year if I can afford it, my pets never go there at all :)

Good clothes, artful make-up and gorgeous hair-do's say rich to me.

i go a bit off topic, when you say rich, i normally see people "rich" in personality, good attitude, good character. because for me, a person rich with good character, will always be well off. but a person with bad character will almost always spent all their money. let's see how to clear this. err... say, some people always have new handphones, new cars, but always borrowing, credit cards, housing loan, loan from loan shark... and that for me is not well off, even though they always seems to have the latest "in" things and gadgets. i hope you guys understand my oppinion, hahaha, because i don't know what i'm talking about either... honestly, english is my second language.... :D

To me its women with long acrilic nails. They can't even open a can of soda by themselves because it will chip the polish. To me the long fancy nails mean someone who must not have to use their hands much. I sure can't see them doing dishes.

If they've never heard of Walmart or if they've heard of it (because they're friends with the Waltons) but they've never been in it! Anyone who doesn't have to worry about prices or ask how much something costs is most likely rich!

I often think that the way the person dresses is usually a sign of weath or lack of. This is not always the case as some people just dont dress according to their money. Yes also the vehicle or vehicles and the home. But I have learned that the material things that one has is usually a sign of being in debt as opposed to being wealthy. I have now learned that the appearance of fancy vehicles and nice homes usually just mean they are in debt up to their ears. LOL That seems to be the case in our community. People seem to live aboove their means

Ok...now I hope this counts because it's something that's attached to the house. LOL When a person has a garage that can hold a minimum of 5 vehicles, that screams RICH to me! Or when you see someone that has a gazillion lights on and around their home at Christmas time. They have to be rich in order to afford the electric bill! LOL

i saw this lady at the vets office. she was about 80 years old, maybe a tad bit younger. she had make up caked on her face, lots of jewelry, perfect hair and nails. expensive looking clothes. her dog was perfectly groomed. he was white with NO dirt. i just KNEW she was bankin'. sure enough in the parking lot she got into a jag.

I see rich as having the money but most important, the time to enjoy the money.

what says rich to me is people wearing lots of jewelry.gold in particular. I don't know why but that's what i think

When it's obvious that a person has had cosmetic surgery, has their hair and nails done regularly, and gets regular spa treatments, they must be pretty well off.

House may not be a great yardstick, unless it is very big, very well decorated. But a four wheeler is for obvious reason a good yard stick to judge wealth. In my country, it has been like a proverb, that a person, with his own house and car,must be very rich. And whenever I see such a person, undoubtedly I jump to the conclusion that the person must be very rich.

No needing to ask "how much is it"

For me, havong a really big house facing the ocean is a good sign, also having a big Cartier watch with lots of gems in it, traveling frequently to remote places and staying at suites everytime they got o a hotel or flying first class.

mainly to me it is attitude when it comes to money. or seeing someone having a company plant there flowers and etc. there are lots of riches in the world though. like for me i am rich but not with money. money i am dirt poor. but i have my husband and my kids and we all love each other alot. we spend alot of time with each other and talk. i am rich as far as love goes within my small family to me that is better then money any day. some people are rich with friends. it just goes to show what is more meaningful to you. money, family, friends, love, etc. now when i see a person that is having a party and alot of people show up and everyone is having fun to me that person is rich with friends.

I think it depends on what part of the country you live in. I'm from the suburbs of New York, and expensive cars are all over the place and it definitely doesn't mean these people are rich. I guess when someone can afford to travel, eat in expensive restaurants and send their kids to pricy private schools, then these people must be rich or well off.

What says 'money' to me is the small things. You may not see a person's house or car as they travel about. Their demeanor, and accent are fairly indicitive. Also, a very dumb person with a nexcellent education (at least on paper), screams money, old, familal, and lots of it! It isn't the same, as telling, with smart folks, because they probably just earned their education through hard work ;-) Another small way is very good sunglasses, or a bag. With men, I can always tell by his shoes. It's just a gift I have ;-)
