[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not another of these tiresome threads.

If you can't afford a Park Ave coop or a Beverly Hills mansion or equivalent, you ain't rich. It's that simple. You're just a better off member of the middle classes. There's a reason why you're called upper middle class. If you can't charter a jet tomorrow and fly off for a Botswana safari and not miss a single dime of the cost, you ain't rich. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, the rich are different from you and me.

Sheesh, the delusions people go through to pretend they're rich with their 40k salary and 250k savings :roll: [/quote]

Lol, you're a snob and a bore. The question is about FEELING rich. There's no wrong answer here.[/quote]
+1 rich is subjective.  Someone who has $250K in the bank, and very little expenses can feel "rich", whereas someone with $3mil in the bank with a lot of expenses (discretionary other otherwise) may not feel rich.

It's a subjective term, and what doesn't feel rich to you may feel rich to another.  As a PP stated, the average American feels "rich" at $1.5mil. I don't because I have a lot more expenses (medical and two kids, one  in college and one HS).[/quote]
