Being rich is having as much as you need.

That could be $20,000,000 a year or $20,000 a year.

Basically I agree.. BUT, you're not rich if your choice is eating out of recycle bins and sleeping under a bridge. You have $2 on your name but you don't need that, you're not rich.

For me, being rich is to have the ability to afford ANY situation.
Example from real life (in finland = free health care):
When my uncle was younger, somewhere in the 70's, he jumped a parachute that didn't open correctly. He landed (obviously) and both of his heels went to gazillion pieces. He had 2 options:

1) Go to a public hospital. He did. They said that he couldn't walk without 'sticks' (you know..) ever again.

2) He didn't like that optionm, so he hired some private doc from sweden specialized in something that was required and he created him some dandy rubber heels or some shit.. and he walked only months after the incident.


If that didn't make sense, stay up another 24 hours and you get a feel how my mind is working. I'm tired. Thanks for your attention.
