Since a $200K income puts you in the top ~5% or so of people in the U.S., I'd say that's rich, statistically speaking.

Yep. 200k is pretty damn rich IMO. Average personal income is only about 30k per person. If you exclude all of the people who are unemployed (and not looking for work), we could push that up to 50k if we really want. Even then 200k would be 4x the average.
 
Well, you can define a word however you want, but if someone could bench press more than 95 percent of people i would call them "strong" and if they could run faster than 95 percent of people then i would call them "fast", so if someone can make more money than 95 percent of people than I have no problem calling them "rich". Sure it is relative, and a person with a wife and 5 kids living in California making that money is going to be living a completely different lifestyle than a single person making that money here in Tennessee, but generally speaking it is pretty darn rich.

This. Most poor stupid and lazy don't realize that they're poor stupid and lazy. They think everyone with a job is snorting coke off hookers and laughing at them.
Right now were renting a 2 bedroom apartment (but planning buying soon) while I drive an Acura TL and my wife drives an Accord. Yeah, we're really living a balling lifestyle 🙄

Never said I was having trouble putting food on the table, but when a 40 year old house in a non ghetto is over a million bucks, its tough to really get ahead.

Move some place else and quit bitching about being broke when you're making over $100/hour.
 
sadly this kind of logic is how the ultra wealthy get so many tax breaks.

"Well if I have to give my employees that 2percent this year I just cannot buy that Bugatti I had my eye on"
 
Statistically-speaking, earning $200 is pretty rich. Doesn't take much to spend it all, but it doesn't mean it's not a relatively high income.
