[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not rich unless you have staff.  Big car, big house, private schools -- all fine and good.  But if someone isn't opening the car door for you, you are not rich.[/quote

Compared to who? The single mom on welfare who can barely feed her children? The homeless an living under the bridge? The family with two parents in blue collar jobs, sometimes 2 and 3 jobs each tomake ends meet? The immigrants who come to this country with NO money and NO property?

You ARE rich if you make 250,000. You make way more than the vast maority of people in this country. Maybe your persepctive is skewed because of where we live, or who you associate with or the degree of wealth you come in contact with on a daily basis. But, [b]to the people who make 30-40,0000 a year,[/b] struggling to support their families, you are rich. Those people dream of the life that you have.

But those folks making 30-40K wealthy, too, don't you see?  Because to the people who live in Haiti, whose average annual salary is $772,  they are way beyond rich.  So maybe those making 30K don't FEEL rich because their perspective is skewed b/c of where they live and who they associate with and the degree of wealth they come in contact with on a daily basis.   Those people in Haiti dream of the life of those making 30K.

BTW, 49K is the average US salary. So those making 49K should not be *struggling* to support their families, b/c they are, after all the living definition of "middle class".
