When you can do what you want, when you want without fretting over how you are gonna pay for it.
Obviously you make a bunch of dough. But if you want to feel rich confine yourself to spending what someone who makes MUCH less makes. At $10x40hrs week=$400; 400x.75 (approximately how much taxes average ppl pay)=$300. So for one month confine ALL your spending to $1200. Everything, rent, utilities, car payment, insurance, food, travel, gasoline, cable tv, phone, internet, gym membership, going out to bars/movies, clothes, laundry detergent, shampoo, haircuts, toilet paper, razors, just everything.
After a month of deprivation go back to spending freely, you should feel very well off. If you don't? Well your success in life (richness) isn't measured by a monetary value or you may want to examine your spirituality.

Those at or above that level typically report they would need to earn $200,000 a year to be rich, which expands to $250,000 among those well above the U.S. median income ($75,000 or more in annual household income).
If you're a multi-millionaire out on your yacht and someone passes you in a bigger more glitzy yacht you might not feel wealthy. Compared to someone who is making minimum wage, or even 50% above minimum wage you'd still be extravagantly wealthy. This has been backed up by research on the rich. If you wanna feel well off hang out with people who are poorer than you and you can be the big fish in a small pond. If you want to feel poor try to go house shopping in
Aspen :rofl: where the billionaires are buying out the multimillionaires.
If you make US$47,500 you're the 60,000,000th richest person in the world and you are in the 1% richest worldwide. Going by the survey that says $150,000 is rich, compared to worldwide you'd be in the top 0.33%.
