“Successful And Wealthy”

A reader writes:

Is this the first time you've used this construction? "…Successful and wealthy"? I'm a pretty regular reader, and it's usually just "successful." In any event, I'm glad to see it. Progress, I think, for those of us who love you more when you resist the pull of abstractions. Those are two different words and concepts. Good for you for acknowledging it. If we could get to "commercially successful and wealthy" or "financially successful and wealthy," I'd never grumble again.

If I didn't learn from my readers I wouldn't continue doing this job. Yes, you showed me I was being too crudely provocative. Without changing the meaning, I can make the same point.
