I don't think it means financially wealthy. I have friends of all levels & they are friends because the relationship is truly caring. In my view, that is true wealth, not money.
It's interesting becausr when I left my marriage & moved so far away to start life over, one of the things I have been VERY SELECTIVE about are the people I am willing to associate with. If someone upsets the peace my life has become I KNOW there is an issue & I do not allow them into my inner circle. Usually it is different values on things & a way different way of seeing things. I can be friends but not close friends & I either limit my assocoation with them or distance myself all together. I realized I no longer had to tolerate people in my life that cause me stress. I have plenty of friends thst don't cause stress & plenty of places I go to that aren't stressful. I have MY priorities & that is what is important in my life. Has worked better for 17 years that the life I had before for 54 years.
Lol....distancing the first time was a challenge but each time after that it got easier & easier & no doubt what I did was right....it does take practice
