How to define rich? Rich usually refers to abundance of assets and money in personal finance. Whether you are very rich or have enough to be comfortable with basic needs, the feeling varies from person to person.
The old Chinese saying 大富由天，小富从俭. I translate it as "being very rich comes from God (fated), and being well-off comes from thrifty life".
李嘉诚Lee Ka Hing is one of the richest Chinese. He worked very hard to build up his businesses. I believe many people work as hard as Lee but very few succeed like him. Anyway, there is no shortcut to getting successful in business and you need to be "blessed" to be super rich like him.
Not everyone is born business minded. Not everyone is born clever in study. However, everyone can work hard to bring in income, and extra income, for himself. I believe everyone can be well-off financially by being careful with their spending and their investments.
How to be contented with what we have? Be satisfied what you have. 小富即安.
