"Wealthy"!! . OMG I'm on the floor laughing. $102,000/yr is now
wealthy, that's awesome, I'll have to remember that one. You probably
couldn't even get a lone for a Cessna 172 on $102,000/yr.


Let's see here. Less than 5% of the population makes more than $102K. It's
probably closer to 3-4%.

So what's your definition of wealthy, economic expert?

2% of the population?

1% of the population?

Less?

I would venture to guess that around 90% of the population considers someone
who makes almost twice the average household income is wealthy.

Furthermore, I know lots of people with less than $102K in wage income that
have much better planes than 172s.
