Somewhat unrelated but… can anyone define "rich"? How much money before one is deemed rich? Where is the line drawn between rich and non-rich?
Here's a couple of good starting points for the line:
if you have to sell your time/labour for money, you're not rich.
if you can take a day off and not need to tell anyone about it and not lose money because of it, you're rich.
That's a really poor metric, because that encompasses many salaried jobs.
But yes, it's ultimately just about whether or not you are selling your time for money, or if you have acquired enough money to exploit the labor of others to make yourself more money without doing anything yourself.
Most people with salaried jobs are not rich
That's what I'm saying.
Is your main income through capital or labour. That simple. Always been.
It's more vibes-based than anything else
Bought the gov means you're rich.
