This is a hard question to answer because it's all relative.

For example. A guy making minimum wage in Canada, renting a gross apartment, just living from paycheque to paycheque is rich compared to a family in Africa where a family of 4 all working might make $3 a day.

I'm a member on 6speedonline and they are rich compared to the average revscene user.

Each person needs to define what rich is and that will be different things for different people. Any family income over $100,000 in Vancouver or GVRD is considered rich although due to upbringing and association, it feels average. Maybe even a bit poor.

If your idea of rich is a few homes worth a million a piece and a couple of nice cars (Bentley and Ferrari) it's not going to happen on $100,000k a year unless you're actively investing which I consider an extra job.

I used to think rich was when you stopped looking at the price tags and didn't calculate the bill in your head when ordering at dinner.

Ironically, the more money I make both in net worth and in my job, the more I look at price tags, refuse to buy things, and opt for water during dinner because I don't want to spend $1.25 on a pop.

Cheap? Probably. Wealthy?
