What does it take to have a rich life?

defining a person who is rich or not not matters how much money he owns.May be you don not have enough much,but you still lead a happy life.Imaging you have a stable work,a warm wife,a lovely child.everyday you need to do is working.After working,you can get the warm of your family.It enlarges many happiness.although this life is usual,but in my eyes I am a "rich" man.some guys has much money,everyday there life is to earn more money or to think other trouble,their life is to complex.They may get ill in the sprite or mental.thanks.wish you had a rich life.

I think a rich life would be a happy one.. bottom line. Whatever made you happy made you rich.

To me a rich life is the one you have...with it's ups and downs...the job you love[ or don't love] the people around you...family... friends...co-workers...the one's you meet in the street[and possibly never see again]for just a hello or a brief chat about the weather or this and that! the memories one collect along the way...the places you visited...my father's tales sitting around the fire in a winter night...my mum's telling the story of Snow White and people she met...or heard of her mum and dad. Giving birth and know what is like to look after another human been! I would say what make my life richer? every thing I have done so far...it have enriched my life by collecting memories I can pass to my children[ like my parents did]now I can pass this to my grandchildren...like the beautiful lullaby's my mum used to sing to us! of course there is much more but to name them it would take the rest of my life time because I'm not done yet! And all this? well I did not have to spend any money to have a rich life!

I feel like this discussion is inevitably leading to the "money doesn't buy happiness" cliche.. Or health, I suppose! I think there are several definitions for the word "rich". So it depends on what one you're referring to. Obviously, the man who is LOADED leads a more "rich" (as in money) life than the man who is a beggar on the streets. Then again, we can't really make any assumptions of the QUALITY of someone's life based on how much money they have.. So yeah, I couldn't tell ya. HA.

There is no hard and fast rule that defines riches.However,the thought of not how much one has but what one makes of what one has could help in deciding how rich or otherwise one is.

Yeah also I've seen some people living in a lavish and luxury life, I've see their life but I don;t know what is the real feeling when you become rich and what life you have... I hope I can experience it later or in the future... how about you? Can you dream it also? Or you satisfy your present situation? see you around

Both are rich. A life can be rich even though it is tough and hard.Every life Can be rich and full.

i am just working on an article on how to live on one income and how you live a rich life in finding meaning in experiences not in the collecting of stuff.

For me, a rich life would be one in which I owned a nice house, was married to a lovely husband, and had a couple of children who had good manners and were doing well at school. I know my hopes and dreams aren't as exciting as other people's, but that's what I want, and that's all I've ever really wanted. I also do a lot of work for charity and I think that that makes my life a lot richer, too. More people should stick their necks out to do more work for charity, as it is an amazing way to stand up for what you believe it.

Hard question and can depend on the personality of the person who is dying. I think that a rich person would be one who had learnt to be content with life. A person who was ambitious but not to the extent that his family suffered by his absence. a person who had learnt to laugh at his/her own foibles and also learned to be kind to others. A person who had no regrets or else (because many of us - me included have past regrets) but had learned to forgive himself. I could bore you by going on and on but am constrained by time. Blessings

I think that a "rich life" kinda depends on the person and what they have been striving for. Sometimes there comes a time when people realize that money sometimes does not equal rich. I am not thinking that the hardships are so much the things that makes ones life rich as much as I do what they do after them. I am thinking that being able to find what makes one happy and doing it is a rich life. Happy..yes..that is rich. If you think about it...even those that strive for money are doing so because they think it will make them happy.

Give Love and Kindness to everyone you meet. Help those you can and encourage those you can't. If you do this, you will have a rich life. A truly rich life is in the Journey!!

I think of the term "rich" as describing an accumulation of things of value ... and NOT necessarily material things, but then again, some material things may well be considered valuable. I think of wealth as a myriad of things physical and emotional. Thus, I would say neither of these is "richer" nor "poorer" than the other ... each person's richness is determined by their own standards; and, our judgement of another's life value and worth is determined by our standards being placed upon them.

I think that neither side is necessarily the richer side, but that it depends on the individual person. A person born into luxury who is able to see and experience all parts of the world and the finer points in life may have a richer life due to the way they take it in. If they stop and study every aspect of life and truly appreciate it, then they are rich. The same person can have all of that and see nothing or care very little and live a completely useless life, however. The same can be said with a person from poverty and hardship. They may appreciate more and work harder and harder with the greatest determination to get far in life. They may be rich by the time they are on their deathbeds by the amount of experience they've taken in, the people they've come across, and the cares they have shared. A person from the same lifestyle may also be completely negative and unwilling to move themselves ahead, however, and again, live a completely useless life. No riches whatsoever. It all depends on mentality.

Very interesting topic. I think that a rich life is one where you will have gained love and happiness from small things, and worked hard to reach your goals as like thatyou get satisfaction. Fundamentally you have to have loving people around you as love is key in life. Without it nothing is worthwhile - not money, not career, not success.
