One definition of rich (or possibly just comfortable) is not having to think about your account balance when considering a purchase. To just be able to buy something when you want it, without having to plan for it.

Actually, I think that pointing people out as trite is more likely to stop the conversation dead (at least from the trite-ee's point of view.)
