Re: Who are the Rich?
In the US we tend to live at or above our current income level, and the tax code promotes that behavior. Most people I know who make 100-150k are not rich, they're in debt. I never felt rich unless I had disposable income that I didn't "need" to support my current lifestyle -- which raises the threshold substantially, because the goal posts keep moving. If you can stay grounded in your lifestyle and move from 30k to 75k, you will "feel" rich. Using a yardstick with a worldview, everyone in the US is "rich". But that's not the yardstick we use.
