if you're rich, does it mean that you have a lot of money or you're rich in other aspects of your life? what would be your basis in saying that you are really rich??

I say someone is rich when they don't have any debts at all. They might not have a lot of money but if they are out of debt then it means they have enough money to spend.

true! because sometimes a person who has lots of money had lots of debts too..so i would rather choose to be a low profile without debts but has enough money..

I don't mind to have a lot of money. I don't mind  - I don't mind to have a lot of money. I don't mind to be rich.
My problem deals with me not being rich rather than the opposite. Money wise I don't have a lot, at least not to the extend of being able to buy whatever I wish. Spiritually I also can not claim that I am rich. At best it is just being peaceful. I guess that I am just being normal. Maybe the crucial question to ask is if I am satisfied with what I have got. Yes, life has been treating me well. Although there were times of sorrow and disappointment, overall, it is a good life. I sure hope I can improve my life further and make it really 'rich'. I don't mind to have a lot of money.

yes you can say your rich if you're living a normal life,though sometimes we can't avoid problems to occur but as long as you know how to handle it, there's nothing to worry about.

I feel rich if I can help others, help the mind, help the effort, helping the money ..... help whatever I can. I saw the faces of people who were free from difficulty. Happy faces. Maybe they feel rich at that time.

yeah that's one point i guess..you feel rich because you're able to help others though not always financially but also emotionally..

That depends on what aspect you want to consider yourself rich. Some people consider themselves rich with friends and people around who loves and care. Some people sees rich as wealth, material things and luxury. I myself consider rich in terms of love. I have friends and loved ones with me. I am happy with my life and contented with what I have although I am not rich materially.

Monetary rich is when i'm able to resign from my current job and be financially free i.e financially worries free. Of course i still have to work, but i will be working minimally. Instead of spending 8 hours working a day, i will work maybe just 3 - 4 or even 5 hours a day. I am also rich in family members. I have 6 uncles and 5 aunties from my mom side. Also an uncle to some of my niece and nephew. From my dad side i have 3 uncles and 2 aunties. I'm rich in friendship. I have a lot of friends here. Also have friends from the philipines, indonesia, germany and england. My bodybuilding friends, mylotters friend, my trading education friend and also chat from facebook or any other chat software such as skype and mirc.

Well I guess richness speaks of not just money and I would believe in that, me I am not rich in terms of money, I do have problems on it, but I am rich with loving friends, mom, family online friends and any other. Thanks

Rich as defined as person possessing material wealth.I would consider myself rich if i will have an abundant money that can suffice my needs.Different cars that i can used to in different events or parties and a happy life.

I have considered myself to be wealthy beyond all others when I am feeling rich with all my family and friends and how much I love them!] Thus far, I've not experienced much of the other type of wealth, but if I have a little money left over after paying bills and buying the household food and necessities, I feel wealthy! have a good day!

i dont care what anyone says. they say money cant buy happiness and that may be true in some respects as you can lose a partner or get cancer, but either one of those will happen if you are broke and if you are broke its so much worse. at least if you have lots of money you can get more help in misery so, i guess a milloinare is rich. id be rich if i was a millionare

Until now,i don't dare to say i'm rich.For i need experience and i need time to really make money.Rich also can be said you possess something mentally.So i think this is different thinking for everyone.Just enjoy happy life and i think everyone is rich in their mind.

I would say that if one person is happy and satisfied with his/her life - then I guess it's the time this person can consider him/herself rich. Although I know people have different views about it - for me that is my way of feeling rich. Sometimes having a lot of money causes problems too.

well it depends on how you understand the word rich ,rich in financial matter then the basis will be the amount of money you have,but if we view different aspect of being rich ,well one can say that someone is rich if lots of people cares for her/him. rich doesn't only mean having a lot of money.

Good question! well for me if we are talking purely financial aspects here then it very simple to me. I am not a guy who needs a lot of materialistic things to be happy. I work a crappy minimum wage job so for me if I had a way to make even twicw my income to me that is rich. lol But to be "Rich" to me a million dollars. I would make more then what I make working a month just on interest for life.

for me, i can still never say i'm rich since the money i received monthly is still not enough for my expenses. As for my understanding to what is the basis, it simply base on the financial status of each person.
