We're often bombarded with images of "being rich" – the luxury cars, the sprawling mansions, the designer clothes. It's an aspirational image, fueled by social media and conventional wisdom. But as financial author Morgan Housel eloquently points out, there's a profound difference between being rich and being wealthy. Being rich is often about visible income and spending; it's about what you see. Being wealthy, however, is hidden – it's about unspent savings and investments, the quiet power of financial independence.
