To be "comfortably rich" is an ideal condition, enjoyed by few, and yet within the reach of all. A steady income from money invested in safe securities is a source of comfort com-fort and pleasure. When that income is sufficient to live on, the possessor is as rich as any one can possibly be. There is no need then to work or worry, and there is time for the higher aims and pleasures of life.
