[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because there is always a bigger fish. And most people will be looking up and comparing themselves to them. We make $700K. I do not consider myself rich or wealthy because there are big law partners making $3M a year. To me, those guys are wealthy and we're just small fry. It's how it works. [/quote] I do understand this opinion. I wrestle with feeling the same way. But, I would imagine that a lot of those people making $3M a year feel "not rich" compared to people making $10-20M or more. The problem with this type of thinking is that someone always has more. So does that mean only billionaires are rich? What about someone who "only" has one billion and feels hard done by because he can't afford to buy Twitter as a toy?[/quote] The funny thing to me is, our HHI is $700k because DH IS a big law partner. And I feel rich. Maybe one day he will make $3mm and we will be insanely loaded. But we are rich now. [/quote]
