Rich and Wealthy - What Do These Terms Mean?

Have you ever looked into the topic of "being rich and wealthy"? Or rather: do you know the exact definition of these two terms?
What are the differences?
First of all, there is a distinction in how these terms can be classified. "Being rich," or riches, is tied to certain earnings, such as the gross or net income of a wage earner. "Wealthy," on the other hand, refers to the share of goods and assets, both tangible and intangible, that an earner has at their disposal.
What Says More About My "Riches"?
Researchers in this field take the view that it is not income that tells you whether someone is "rich and wealthy," but only assets, which can be more reliable and lasting. Why is that? For one, they can be inherited and help to cover life's risks, and the likelihood of losing a well-paid job is much higher than that of losing the security provided by your assets. A rich person is not someone who owns many cars and vacation homes, but someone who does not have to work, or at least not much, and can therefore benefit from the earnings and income of their assets and, above all, from their precious time.
In summary, all the speculation about your annual income and monthly salary, which supposedly defines your "being rich," is just different numbers of varying size. Certainly, though, these numbers are your prerequisite for reaching all the goals you have in your professional career. Your "being rich and wealthy" only truly begins with the building of assets.

How Do I Get Such Wealth?
If there were an exact answer to this question, the whole topic would unfortunately lose its point, and anyone could snap up that kind of fortune. So it remains a formula for which there is no universal final solution, only individual calculations that you have to work out for yourself. As the word calculation already suggests, you have countless ways to advance and grow from your calling or your profession. There are many different ways in which successful people have achieved this, but the definition of "being rich and wealthy" differs extremely from person to person down to the smallest detail. That is why you have to decide for yourself which goals you want to reach, and at what cost, in order to be "rich and wealthy."
Poverty and living standards are determined by the government on the basis of income. Being "rich and wealthy," that is, good old wealth again, has no upper limit.
