A poor man gets up in the morning and goes to a job b/c he must. A rich man gets up when he wants to and goes where he pleases (even it happens to be work). That's the difference, freedom of choice.

I don't think that there is a particular way to tell a "rich man from a poor man".

That depends on the currency used. If it is health, then the rich man has good health, and no matter how much money he has a man in bad health is a poor man.

It's not something you can necessarily tell by looking at a person. Many people buy things on credit to have the appearance of being wealthy, and they are living paycheck to paycheck just to keep up with the Joneses.
A lot of wealthy people are not flashy. They buy used cars that are a couple of years old, and pay cash for them. For example, the CEO of my company for example drives a 1992 Toyota Camry. There's nothing wrong with it, so he keeps driving it. It is not out of necessity that he does this either. He can definitely afford to buy a new car.
Take a look at the book The Millionaire Next Door. It talks about the habits of millionaires.

A poor man usually has a big house and a fine looking car (to go with his massive mortgage and his huge car payment).
A rich man usually has a slightly shabby suit, a genuine smile, and a delightful demeanour...

actually there is no really good way to tell a poor man from a rich one cos there are some ppl that flaunt money around but are really in depth and there are ppl that are simple and laid back that actually are rich.....so there is no real way to distinguish the person's wealth unless probably their accountant

you cant look at shoes cars, whatever many men dress flashy drive benzs are in debt upto their eyeballs, or have nothing else, living in a 1br flat. you cant really look at someone, but ive noticed that men who are wealthy generally have nice watches. not necessarily diamonds but a nice watch, exclusive. i dated a guy who had a relatively plain watch that was nice. he wore old navy. ralph lauren nothing flashy. we were in macys one day and the clerk in the mens dept said oh my god i want one of those watches so bad, he said the name and was like they only made 500 of them ever, that thing costs like 10grand!come to find out he owned property in 4 states and abroad, had 3 different businesses and a few classic cars. who knew!

Follow him wherever he goes. If he goes to cheap places then he is poor.
