22. I'll give you an example of what "wealthy" is

You go to the supermarket. You have a list with the food you'll need for a week on it.

You walk into a department and they've got some product that isn't on your list, is pricey and you enjoy eating.

If you can buy that item without having to not get another item on your list, or pay a bill late because you spent the money buying this product, you're wealthy.

Consider Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the guy who committed the New Orleans attack on New Year's Eve. He made a ton of money - well over $100,000 per year - but since he had bills that exceeded his income he was not wealthy.

On the other hand, I can go to the gas station or call the furnace repairman if I need to and not even worry about the bill because I KNOW I've got the money to cover it. Therefore, I am wealthy. And I don't even make a third of what Mr. Jabbar made.
