Having enough money to not worry anymore is called being rich

[โ€“] elephantium@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Eh, there are levels.

  1. Rich enough that you can fill your cart at the grocery store without agonizing over whether you can pay for it.
  2. Rich enough to afford a mortgage.
  3. Rich enough to have a yacht.
  4. Rich enough to buy your own island.

Some people wouldn't call the first two "rich".
