Whether I am rich or not depends on how I define rich on the test

We are in the top 15% in our community. I selected the top 1% as being rich but somewhat objected to not being able to select the top 0.5% as being rich.

It's kind of BS thinking the top 5% are rich. Or even the top 2%, and I even think the top 1% aren't really rich either.

This is not to say folks in the top 1%-25% can't build a nice nest egg but being gainfully employed and living frugal while saving isn't rich IMO. These kinds of people are fairly often wiped out by medical expenses or market fluctuations. Rich people in my opinion can afford to risk going without medical insurance and put a nephew or two thru college without the possibility of effecting their own wealth.
