It's so funny to me that any time people discuss what being "rich" means, a bunch of people say "I have wonderful friends/family/etc and so even though I'm broke, I feel rich."

Uh, yeah, everyone says that, we all feel that way, it's a given. I myself am very happy and lucky and thankful. If the discussion is about perceptions of relative monetary wealth, to walk in and say "oh yeah, well I'm "rich" without money" is not only obvious, trite, and beside the point, but it also stops the conversation dead, the inference being "I don't care about perceptions of relative monetary wealth."

My two cents - and only because it happens every single time this sort of thing comes up.
