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

We seem to be in the same boat.

Early in our working careers, we were in the middle of the pack. We had conversations about having kids OR buying a house. Over the years we did better. At the very end of our careers, we were in the top 5%.

What really mattered though was 40 years of modest savings in conservative investments that slowly compounded. Yes the market goes up and down, but it doesn't wipe out people who are properly invested and diversified. And of course we all need good health insurance. Driving a BMW and skimping on health insurance could bite you in the ass.
