You don't have a dictionary? Or access to an on-line dictionary? Poor you!
Affluence doesn't mean wealth, although it is often used in reference to money. Affluence means 'flowing freely'. So someone who has a lot of money can be affluent if they let that money flow freely --either in purchasing consumer goods or in helping others through works of charity.
Affluence also refers to rivers, more more particularly, to their tributaries.

Means wealth, that you are so wealthy that you don't have to worry about investing because your affluence insures you will not be hurt if the investment fails.

You should learn to do your own research. In high school, we had to use something called a library. Considering you're on this site, I am assuming you have unlimited access to the internet. Start with the site below.
