    People fail to realize how rich the 1% really are was his point. Even $500k per year still wouldn’t get you into that tier of rich.

    Johnny Harris made a good video about how far removed from regular society the real rich people actually are. https://youtu.be/PpyPB3BF-hQ

      There are for sure tiers of how rich you can be. But when you’re beyond the point of financial stress and can at any time stop working for the rest of your life and not worry about making ends meet, I think most of us would call that rich. If you’re pulling in a quarter million per year, even in an expensive city, the slightest bit of sense with your money allows you to accumulate wealth so quickly that I think you qualify.
