    An INDIVIDUAL income that's double the median HOUSEHOLD income is pretty damn well off. This isn't the 1950s. Single-provider households are not the norm.

    'Rich' is income in considerable excess of the average. The idea that 'middle class' is actually considerably above the middle shows the obsession we, as a society, have with being midde class - aped from both above and below that status.

    I think of “rich” as someone who can quit working right now and be able to live comfortably on their savings for the rest of their life. If they still need to work, that’s below the “rich” line.

    So 'rich' is money management to you?
