    I’m not sure why so many people are down voting this. The only part I took issue with was what kind of salary Schreier said would make one rich versus middle class in an expensive city. I live in an expensive city, I don’t make anywhere near as much as some of the high salaries he cites, and those who do around me are certainly rich.

      People fail to realize how rich the 1% really are was his point. Even $500k per year still wouldn’t get you into that tier of rich.

      Johnny Harris made a good video about how far removed from regular society the real rich people actually are. https://youtu.be/PpyPB3BF-hQ
