How much do you have to earn a year to be rich?
Most Americans say earning between $90,000 and $100,000 annually qualifies as rich.
Survey...

That’s rich? I beg to differ. /s
Deep State continuing its divide and conquer strategy...
I don’t give a rat’s a$$ what someone else has.
I just want to keep more of MY money.
Most of the country it’s decent dough. In high cost areas it is chump change (eg SF, NYC)
“I’d say a man raising his family happily on $60k is rich, and a miserable thrice-divorced ad exec making $120k is poor.”
That may be how they’d feel about it and how they’d measure their own success or failure is up to them, right?
Yup. I make about $400k but our expenses excluding taxes are $100k and that includes $20k/yr on traveling we could cut back easily and $35K on huge house with pool we could easily downsize with no mortgage. But it’s amazing how many folks at my income are barely building net worth!
That’s definitely not rich anywhere. In expensive places, you’d be lower middle class on that salary.
So how much “income” does a welfare queen “take in” every year through food stamps, childcare, Medicare, AFDC etc?
Let’s say for a single mom of three.
No surprise this would be the finding of such a survey. Here is the true goal of the class warriors: Anyone not receiving a government stipend is “rich”.
From twitter, so yeah to a leftist college kid facing $45k+ in student loans and low employment prospects that is wealthy.
Thanks again democrats.
Lol…. Even 200000 for a family of 4 doesn’t make you rich in this country.
I make around 32K. If you make 100K, to me that is very wealthy. I live pretty good, and consider myself generally smart with my money. I’m not advocating taxing those people more, but I have no sympathy for that income bracket when they whine about how they are barely making it or somehow ‘middle class’.
No, it’s not.
Median family income in the USA is $85,000. These people believe anyone just a little above average is “the rich”. This really is the poorest 51% voting to tax the richer 49%. This is socialism - pure evil, and a guarantee of poverty for everyone except a much smaller ruling elite.
Who the hell is YouGov ?
Woohoo! I’m “rich”.
Earning $100,000 per year is not “rich” by any reasonable definition. The average single family house costs in America over three times that amount. The median income for an American age 50 is $168,000. Unless you are earning it as interest, dividends, and rent on your $5 million in performing assets, you probably don’t have enough wealth to retire without depending on social security if you’ve never earned $100,000 per year.
I also think it’s safe to say that most of the respondents to that survey pay little or no federal income taxes.
Crazy! That isn’t even close to rich.
Not rich.
Wait a minute!
In my adult life, I’ve generally earned between $30,000 and $50,000…
Yet, EVERY LAST time they “tax the rich!”, MY taxes went up.
Every. Last. Time.
How is it that I become “the rich” whenever politicians want more money???
Did the “most Americans” that were polled, work at McDonald’s? What a joke.
