What does Rich mean to you?

What do you think when you pass a mansion? You know what I am talking about. You drive by one of those incredible huge and beautiful homes and just can't seem to get by without thinking they are rich. What gives it away?

You think they are rich because of what they have. They must have a lot of money if they can afford expensive cars and a huge, beautiful house. You can't afford those things if you aren't rich.

Would your view of them changed if I told you they had two mortgages on their house and owed more than what it was worth, their fancy cars were all leased, they had $75,000 in credit card debt, and every month they spent more money than they earned? Now are they rich? They looked rich before, but now you can easily see that they are nowhere near it.

If you looked at that person at first and thought they were rich, you probably consider rich someone who has a lot of possessions. They have a lot of expensive looking things. This all depends on what your definition of rich is.

Have you ever thought of someone who has no debt, a paid off home, and a comfortable retirement savings put aside as rich? They don't live a wealthy lifestyle, but they could be considered rich because they are financially secure.

What out being rich in thought? You consider yourself rich because you are rich in friends, or rich in happiness. This type of 'rich' thinking doesn't usually get through, but ultimately, being rich isn't everything.

Whether you are rich because you possess a lot of monetary wealth or you are richly satisfied with your life doesn't really make a difference. Rich is a positive word and is automatically a desire. You should strive to be content with your life.

If you still want to be wealthy and have a lot of money, you can always get a really good paying job, save every penny you make, invent something everyone must have, invest in the next big thing before it gets big, or try many other ways to get there. Good luck, and I hope you see the riches you've always dreamed of! - 20761
