[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You don't need to be truly rich to do those things, but you do need to be comfortable. Truly rich means you can hire a private jet for your vacations and could have multiple houses around the world, etc.[/quote]

I see.  So privileged beyond belief compared to the rest of the world, developed or not is not considered rich on this forum.  You need to be Koch Brothers/Bill Gates rich to be truly rich.  Or at least movie star rich.  Got it.[/quote]

The criteria that were used to determine "rich" by OP are[b] very middle class concerns[/b]. When you do it at the levels of income many are describing you are talking upper-upper-middle class. But the rich don't give a sh*t about 529s, IRAs, and occasional date night splurge meals. [/quote]

I agree. We have an income that puts us in the top 1% of DC (and, of course, national, which is much lower) but we don't feel "rich." We do fully fund all of the savings things, live in a very expensive home, and drive luxury cars, and we don't worry about money, but if we were "truly rich," we wouldn't need to worry about funding 529s and 401Ks. We'd have trust funds for our kids (and ourselves)! When you need an income to maintain your lifestyle, you can't really be rich, can you? I'd say we're upper middle and very comfortable.[/quote]
