It depends on your cost of living. making 100 k a year at 30 is good but if you're spending a ton on rent because you live in a expensive city then it could be enough to make you just an average employee. If you can make 100 k remote and live in a cheaper place then it's more than enough to save up a lot and invest and become rich.

I don't consider a salary as "rich". I'd go off net worth. And I'd say anything over 100k and you're doing well. Because the REALITY is it takes years. To build your base net worth.

The median net worth is about 200k. The median net worth for someone wealthy is about 600k. But keep in mind at 30 is the younger end of the spectrum. Most people are in debt still before thier 30's.

I was broke at 26. Now near 50 I got a net worth in the mid 6 figures.

If you're just focusing on salary alone you're never going to be rich. To quote Warren Buffet, "if you don't learn to make money while you sleep you'll work till the day you die".

People saying 100k don't understand taxes. Yikes

The median income when I live is almost $100K, so here probably $300K will get you there by retirement.

Being rich is not the size of your salary.
Rich is when your money works for you not you working for the money.

Being well off and rich are way different. I'd say rich is at least 500k a year
