What salary would you consider to be "rich"?

100k dollars a year and over. 'Wealthy' would be over 250k. No one needs more than 60-70k to live their lives entirely comfortable. Once you start going over that, then you're more than well off. Poor, would be anything less than 20k a year, even if the government says it's 12k. At 12k, you're barely scraping by and hardly able to eat--rent for an apartment is 8k a year, for a cheap-ass roach and gangsta infested one--probably living out of your car from time to time or a lot. To live somewhat comfortably, a person needs around 30-35k a year--this does not include much of a savings, health issues, and investing in a house in the future, or supporting a family.

My dad made 40k a year for a family of four, and we struggled quite a bit. We were comfortable, most of the time, but we also went 50,000 into debt when I was a kid, just so we could eat and have a roof over our heads. Health costs killed us.

Ultimately, surviving means less outcome than income. Even millionaire football players go broke, because they spend all their money stupidly. Which brings up an entirely new question: Why... the fuck... do football players make so much damn money? I don't care if it's popular. It's grown men throwing a ball around. Capitalism is shit.

More than $100,000 CAD a year in Canada.
Cos after that point you're paying 40% income tax lol

[amybeelicious]

I think anyone is rich if you can pay all your bills, buy groceries, etc and still have a nice chunk of change left lol

[harakiri]

it's subjective. rich enough to live comfortably or rich enough to rent out an island for a pet's birthday? lol

[Asker]

I'm not a. what island.

[FlyingTurtle]

100K+. I can only dream of making that kind of money.

[Dillion]

It depends on where, but generally, >$500,000 is rich.

[Rawrzz]

500,000 is exorbitantly wealthy. Not rich.

[Dillion]

No, it is rich, you don't take into account the effects of taxes and where you live making a difference. $500K in Nebraska is exorbitantly wealthy. $500K in Manhatten is just beyond upper middle class.

[EyeSeaYew]

A six figure income, 100k and over.
