Have you seen the thing about how there are no rich Americans?[1] No matter how big my house and expensive my car, I'm not rich, heavens no, that guy over there has a bigger house and a shinier car, he's rich. And of course he'll tell you the same thing.

$200k/year is most definitely rich by the standards of most of America. If you think that's silly, hang out with someone who makes $30,000 a year and think about how much $200,000 would change their lives.
