> This metric is no longer meaningful, as in 99th percentile you'll have someone making £1.5m+, which is a world's difference. We're debating various degrees of rich. If you earn more than 98% of your working peers, I don't know what else you could call that. People make choices with their money. Living alone in an expensive city is a choice. If you choose to do that on £150k, you're going to have far less disposable income than others on that same salary making different choices. I have very little sympathy for people who blow all of their income funding a lifestyle they can't afford to project the appearance of wealth and status.
