I had a convo with someone the other day about the difference between being "rich" and being "wealthy"
Wealth is just stuff... things... status... power, importance. Wealth can get you to the front of the line. Wealth can get you a better table in a restaurant. Wealth can get proud honest people to feed your ego by getting you what you want and when you want it. Wealth can pave your future with predictability as far as knowing you will never have to struggle. With wealth there is always criteria and requirements.
This is just my opinion, but I think being RICH would be meeting your goals financially and in every other way that is important to you. Emotional maturity and wisdom enough to know what IS right for you. Being RICH is having true friends, loyal family, and a spectacular partner that would be right there for you when youre old, bald, and possibly lose everything and turn dirt poor. Whether you cut your hair short, buy an annoying new drum set, start a potato bug collection... Someone who will allow you to grow in your own way and grow WITH you.
