"And that partner of yours in Ecuador, Noboa, is he AFFLUENT?" AFFLUENT is another way to say rich, wealthy, prosperous. When you say that someone has no problems with money, in other words, he or she is rich and prosperous, we say in Spanish that someone has a POSICION ECONMICA HOLGADA. Of course, it's a long expression and saying AFFLUENT may not be enough. TO BE AFFLUENT is a more precise term to express the same idea in English.

I had to say it: I wrote this short entry AT ONCE                                                                                 In Ecuadorian Spanish, we say DE UNA to indicate that something happened really quickly or that there was not any preliminary routine in an event, it just began. That would be Immediately or AT ONCE.  AT ONCE also means Simultaneously, but that is one meaning that DE UNA does not have. Besides, there is a slight connotation in the use of DE UNA since it is considered vulgar or uneducated, not necessarily the same thing in English.

"Hey, you know that guy Ant-man? I'm his daughter!" To BELITTLE means you are being mean to others by saying they are not important or making them feel that way. The way we say BELITTLE in Spanish is MENOSPRECIAR and just as in English is really a bad thing to do. The difference is though that in Spanish we can not "play" with the word and say that those who BELITTLE are being little, but perhaps we could say that "aquellos que MENOSPRECIAN a los demás en realidad a sí mismos se aprecian aún menos." 

"No customers again! Maybe we should relocate at that Bahía place in Ecuador." THRIFT STORES or CHARITY STORES are places where you can buy used clothes at very convenient prices. Usually, though not always, the purpose of THRIFT STORES is to raise money for charity.   THRIFT STORES are not FLEA MARKETS. The idea of a THRIFT STORE is to sell clothes only, whereas FLEA MARKETS sell all kinds of goods, including clothes, also at low prices. There is not a synonym for THRIFT STORE in Spanish. The closest in meaning is TIENDA DE ROPA USADA, though these are not necessarily meant to raise money for charitable purposes.
