First it depends on where you are. Also depending on what you considering what is Rich. People in the South think of someone that can buy a new car every year as rich. Rich people are not worried about the same average problems like health care or how they will afford things. Many Californians can pay $200,000 or more on a house. Even though that may be a normal price in California in Alabama if you can afford that much you would be considered rich. So a average person in California may appear rick to alabama person. A average person from Alabama is very poor when he moves to California and his income stays the same. There are very few Ferraris in Alabama. There is no dealership in Alabama.There are not many rich in the south. Just a few.

Well it depends on if your pertaining to how much money people have or how great their life is. I think a real rich man is someone with great friends and a happy family, so i guess a poor man would be someone without those things, if any of you ever read or have read "Barn Burning" by William Faulkner, I think the father in that is a poor man, he's abusive to his family and has an anger problem, it's sad but it's a good story!

Material wealth and spiritual wealth are two different things. Keep in mind that the idea of wealth is subjective. For example, a millionaire is rich compared to a middle or working class individual. But a millionaire is poorer than a billionaire. Physical appearance may or may not be an indicator. Possessions may be another. Spiritual or intellectual wealth is found through interactions and impact on society.

Well, it depends on what your definition of rich is. Personally I think I am rich in ways other than monetary. People whose lives are rich because of peace and happiness will have a smile on their face and be kind and considerate of others. Poor people to me are those who think that success is how many things you own. They are usually too busy to notice anyone else around them. It is a different way of looking at rich and poor, but to me, it's the truth.

If he's REALLY rich, he never appears to be in a hurry. He never stays in one place for long. And when he leaves there is no apology.
