What does it take in terms of assets, abilities, and/or income for you to consider them wealthy?

        For most of us reading this it is an obtainable retirement income. On the world stage if you can read this you are probably rich. A little bit of savings can get you 3k inflation adjusted once you reach “old age”.

          Of course on the world stage this varies per country but I agree that a big of savings can get you there by retirement, especially if done early.

          In China a common goal is to save 140k USD then invest it and retire by one’s mid 30s living a simple life.

            That would be achievable in the US as well - 140k US saved and living a “simple life”. Those some people who try it go back to work in a few years because it turns out they value a more complex life. YMMV.
