an annual household income of $400,000 puts one in the top 2 percent of households! no you aren’t a billionaire or multi-millionaire but that doesn’t mean you aren’t very affluent.

also, it is not all that difficult to drop 40 stacks on a toyota

part of the problem here is that the existence of the super wealthy has made the merely rich seem less affluent than they actually are.

last thought here is that it is really only a handful of metro areas where $400,000/year could feel like anything other than rich. i grew up in virginia beach, where with that income you could live in all but the absolute toniest neighborhoods.
