Do you guys always reference wealth to money?(or material luxuries for that matter). If not, do you have a significant or clear differentiation of the two? I mean, can one be wealthy even without(or just enough) money, and on the other hand, can one have lots of money and yet considered not wealthy?

Hey firstly they are not synonyms ok.Yes of course a person could be wealthy even without money as he might be good in his heart, kind, genuine and sober.
Suppose if a person is vey wealthy and is stone hearted what's the point though he is having billions of rupees?A person should be rich in heart. Buddha says "he has a heart wide as the ocean."
Happy Mylotting!

Well it depends on ones definition of "wealth"...I IMO am a very wealthy woman...but it has nothign to do with cash/money or even assets...I'm wealthy in several other ways...I'm wealthy when it comes to friends and family who care, knowledge, love, compassion, strength and the list goes on. But do I have a lot of money or valuable assets? NOPE..

I don't think that the two are the same. Wealth to me is being happy with what you have and to be completely rid of desire. You are happy with your husband/wife, kids your job your life. You don't have to have material things to be wealthy in fact I would rather be wealthy without material things you then know it is genuine. Money can be evil and corrupt many. You have to be careful you have money that you use it in the correct way and don't let it change who you are.
