Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
I started thinking of this reading the Warren Buffet thread.
When is a person rich? Is it when they have enough money so they don't have to work? My cousin and his wife retired in their early thirties, but while they live comfortably, they don't live extravagantly. If they did they'd soon have to go back to work. What they do is live on the interest of the money they made from the sale of their AOL stock. Are they rich? I bet if I asked them if they are rich they would say no.
Is a person rich if they can "buy anything they want?" But surely there are things that even Bill Gates can't afford to buy if he wants to.
Is a rich person anyone who makes more than I do? You notice how people tend to feel that people who make way more than they do are "rich." Those who make far less are "poor."
Any rich posters here who'd like to concede their "richness" and tell us when you knew you were wealthy.
Someone once pointed out that the middle class American is insanely wealthy compared to the vast majority of the world's population. So does that mean we're ALL rich, but just don't know it?
Thoughts?
