The proper meaning of being RICH is having a great deal of money OR assets, that's what the dictionary says right? Assets are useful,or valuable things,persons,& qualities. Money may be the poster child or mascot for the word rich & ppl tend to forget bout the assets part. I wish all good people who do good things can wake up to millions of dollars on their coffee tables but what good would that do the person if they don't already know that their assets are worth equal or more.
