Synonyms for AFFLUENT include

more coming-in than going-out.
It also includes Opulent, which
implies lush plenty at hand.
Also synonymous is Substantial

There’s even Rich, which can allude

Webster says these synonyms
of affluent always refer to
money on it’s many forms.Β Β I disagree
They can also refer to vocabulary
The only treasure everyone can own.
You may not have a dime to spare
but you can write a verse that sings
and rhymes that make us cry
Just by using words that turn out
to be more valuable than gold.
