Definition
富裕 (fù yù) describes a comfortable, prosperous financial state, often for families or a country — it suggests a stable, well-off lifestyle. Compare with 富 (fù), which is a broader, more generic 'rich' (can describe land, resources, or people), and 富有 (fù yǒu), which as an adjective emphasizes abundant possession (e.g. 富有经验) and is slightly more formal. 小康 (xiǎo kāng) specifically means 'moderately well-off,' a step below 富裕.
