I suppose I'd define it as security, comfort, earning more than you spend a month and being able to afford better quality items than those which are utilitarian.
Of course, those luxuries are only defined in relation to others in your society. Maybe that's it - you can only appreciate wealth if you're surrounded by those who are poorer than you.
