Default Re: What is rich?

I've never defined "rich" by how much money someone had but rather what they could do with their money. If someone could afford to buy a Lexus as an impulse purchase for cash and still have enough money to live for the rest of the year, they were at the very least comfortable. If they could buy matching luxury vehicles just for the fun of it, they were definitely very well off. If they could buy my dream car (a Testarossa), they were rich.

Right now, I'd be happy with more money than month (but I'm getting there again).
