If I am happy and healthy, I am rich. I don’t need money to feel rich at all.

I would submit that if you have no freedom but all the money in the world, you are wealthy but about as far from “rich” as you can be. After thinking about it more, “rich” sounds more and more like a description of a lifestyle and the ability to maintain that life than about money – at least in the terms I described it.

I agree that these questions are all sliding scale and not yes/no. I believe you’re are definitely very rich if you are happy, secure, and have a reasonable amount of freedom.

Freedom is very much tied to richness I think, that’s a good point, and there’s also a sense that it’s not a 1 or a 0 type of question right? I mean you touch that point and it’s definitely a good one. You can have everything except that elusive total freedom and still be “rich.”

In those terms…not yet, but working my way there. And fortunately, I only rarely feel poor either.
