We've all called others "rich." Yet it would be tacky to say such of yourself. But go ahead––ask.

Is it a million dollars? A mansion and a Mercedes? But what if you have that—with lots of loans? Are you truly rich or in debt?

Only you know the answer to such personal probes. Or maybe you don't. Because the fact is, most people avoid talking about money (beyond gas prices or great bargains).

Oddly enough, people think about money all the time. Yet most of us still can't answer this simple question.
