Well by the same logic, a person with a lot of money is not rich, they are merely a collector.

*Not sure if this applies to the real world but I do like your optimism. It will definitely bring you further in life.
That’s definitely different because even if you collect millions but never spend it, can you really call yourself rich?
But us gamblers? We’re spending money all the time. We don’t save, we just throw cash around and throw it to the games we like to play. So by that logic, we are the real definition of rich!
That’s the kind of optimism we need to keep in mind as at least in this game, we can proudly say,
“Yep, at some point, I was rich!”
