Apparently we're rich
I was just scanning through yahoo "news" articles and thought I spotted a familiar car. I don't know about breaking traffic laws, but I definitely do find myself taking candy from children

IMO, if you are a family of 4 and make over 100K in most of the nation not certain areas of course you are rich.
I look at all the people I know from college grads to 55+yr olds and there is a millionaire here, a doctor or two there, but most make much less 50-60K/yr.
I didn't read the article, but when median income for a family of four is 55K or less in the US IDK I can't help but me super grateful for what my wife and I make.
It's all perspective.

All you have to do is...
I was having a talk with a guy that I play HOOPs with. The rumor around the gym was that "I was Loaded", Vette/Boat/Cabin on a lake.....
So , I aked him how old he was. He answered "32", then I asked him how much he made. He told me. (six figures)
Then I said... "I make just about the same, but I'm 50"...
"All you have to do is work your *** off for another 18 years, keep out of trouble, and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish".No Big Secret ! No, he won the Lottery! Just Life!
And by the way, I have a couple of Mortgages !
But I would rather have a Mortgage and a Vette, than No Mortgage and No Vette !

Let me guess..."news" from the Huffington Post? Talk about biased media publishing falsehoods. I see the so-called "millionaire tax" prominently listed. Irrespective that increasing taxes is not the solution to excessive government spending and entitlements, obama said the millionaire tax was for those making over $250K annually. Now he proposes an almost 45% tax on all dividend income whether you make $250K a year or not. This will hurt average Americans...retirees, retirement accounts, pension funds, etc. Taking 45% of one's income is not a tax....it's a taking! The administration already wants us to pay $9-$10 per gallon for gas....what's next...a special tax on all the lying, "rich," Corvette owners?
