I think normally you look at your salary (or bank balance) to see how "rich" you are.

Nnnnnooope. Live in a McMansion, Land Rover in the driveway, you have arrived. Ignore the part about how you made the minimum down payment (in fact, you got another loan to make the down payment on the house) on those items, and your credit cards are maxed to pay for the home theater and new dining set. You are livin' large!

I've seen it with my own eyes, including a family member. They think they're rich, when they don't have a pot that they own outright to piss in.

That phrase is going into my verbal toolkit.
