How much is 'rich'?

[naomi24]

Aristocracy and celebrities aside, at what salary level would you draw the dividing line between rich and poor?

It's like asking whether someone is attractive

We have a vague general idea of what that means but there are significant local variations based on people's personal nature.

There are plenty of people with a few million who'll skulk around the harbour at Cannes and not think of themselves as rich.

I don't think of myself as rich but if someone had shown the 18 year old me my P60 for last year I imagine my eye's would have been as round as dinner plates

I honestly don't think you can just put a number on it because it also depends on the cost of living. My aunt's boyfriend and his brother both earn roughly the same. The brother has a job that allows him to work from home so he moved to a cheap area of the country and owns a lovely house and car. The aunt's boyfriend has a job which requires him to be in London and he rents a small flat and can't afford a car.

Why don't we all say what we earn and then work out the what constitutes the average?
