So you want to be rich. But how will you know when you've achieved it? It all depends on your point of reference. If you have enough food and clean water, you're already wealthier than millions of people worldwide. Own a house and a car? You've surpassed many billions more. Wealth is also relative to your location. A salary of $100k might place you among the elite in an economically depressed area but might equate to poverty in more affluent regions. Therefore, being rich might not necessarily mean having more money but rather living in a place where your money stretches further.
