From my observations, those who will have many wants are less happy than those with many needs.
You can tell that a person is wealthy when the person dressed very simple but neat with no visible labels. Only a poor person will show off their designer labels.
A wealthy person spends more on food than on electronics and fashion. Only a poor person would spend their food money on the latest gadgets and handbags.
There are tell tale signs when a person is financially secured - he/she still travels abroad even when the ringgit is tanking, he/she's wallet is stuff full of 100 ringgit notes and only pays with cash all the time.
Other telltale signs include a mid tier car but with an expensive old number plate (single or double digit) which shows that the person is from an old rich family.
Does not like to show off. Very low profile about his life or where he lives. Also will try to not show off his watch and downplays it when friends notice his expensive watch.
Poor people would buy a car on 7-10 year loan and would usually buy entry level cars from Mercedes, BMW. A-class and 1-series are cars of choice for posers.
Poor people also wear designer labels on the outside and make sure people notice their fake watch or entry level watch. Rich people will go for the mid tier pricing for any luxury watch brands they buy into. The expensive upper tier of a luxury brand is reserved for posers whom saved up for a decade or more to afford it but after that, cannot afford to service the watch as it costs 4-5 digits to repair it every 3-5 years.
Poor people drink at bars and clubs where overpriced drinks are being sold. Rich people drink at home in their mini bar away from the noise and bar plebeians.
Anything else that I missed out? Looking at my list, I think I am more poor than rich.
Well, I think all of these seems legit to most quarters. You can tell that a person is wealthy when the person dressed very simple but neat with no visible labels. Only a poor person will show off their designer labels.

I think another wealthy person criteria is that they are bloody stingy. Stingy in the sense that they will constantly ask for discount no matter what.
Everyone choose to live their life under whatever circumstances they are in. If you are single and ready to mingle, staying at home drinking away and having loads of cash by yourself do you no good whereas when you mingle outside by spending some, you get to meet new people and even might land yourself a lifetime partner.
From my perspective, rich and poor, it's solely depend on your decision to achieve your goal. You can spend your money on something which might sounds like spend thrift. But once you reached to a certain point whereby you need to cut yourself out from that behaviour then.
Saying is easier than doing and this is always the difference between the rich and poor as from what I can observed.
