Who is Rich?

The Rabbis taught: Who is rich?  He who is happy being rich.  These are the words of Rebbe Meir.

The mnemonic is “matkas”.  M for Rebbe Meir, T for Rebbe Tarfon, K for Rebbe Akiva, and S for Rebbe Yossi.

Rebbe Tarfon said: He who has 100 fields and 100 vineyards and 100 laborers on each one.

Rebbe Akiva said: He who has a wife with beautiful good deeds.

Rebbe Yossi said: He who has a bathroom close to his table.

(Shabbat 25b)
