Rich, Broke, Poor, Wealthy - The Nuances

I'm a huge Wordsmith. I love the various nuances of words and their meanings.....

To see if you understand where I'm coming from, see if you can explain what I mean by this statement below:

I have been broke, but I've never been poor.
I am not rich, but I am wealthy.
There are those who are broke and poor, broke and wealthy, rich and poor, and rich and wealthy.

What do these words mean as I mean them?

Rich
Broke
Poor
Wealthy

What are your thoughts? Comment on this post and I'll approve them so they show up here.
