Being rich is not how much you earn but how much you save. It is also about not worrying of the next paycheck because you never know when you will be out of a job. Being rich is to be financially independent, you are not dependent on income from work. A rich person is one who has passive income which is big enough to cover his expenses.

If you are earning a lot from being a salaried worker or running a business which requires you to to labour, then you are not financially free.
