$80k/year is rich? That’s less than the median household income in a half-dozen states. 18% of Americans make over $100k/year.

  > $80k/year is rich? Yes. > That’s less than the median household income in a half-dozen states. That's nice. Can you guess how many states there are in the world? The fact that you're using the claim that a minority percentage in a single country makes a large amount of money as an argument for the claim that an 80.000 salary is not rich, is a stereotypically American myopic outlook at the world.

  >$80k/year is rich? Yes, 80 thousand Euros per year wages is rich by most EU standards. >18% of Americans make over $100k/year. Wow, America, the richest country in the world, has many rich people. The more you learn.

  > $80k/year is rich? That’s less than the median household income in a half-dozen states. (1) EUR 80,000 > USD 80,000 (about USD 86,700) (2) We’re discussing individual wages not household income of households where the average is >1 wage-earner. (3) The highest US state median wage is a little over USD 80k, and less than EUR 80k. (4) The US is a rich country, so, yes, median wage earners in the US as a whole (much less the median wage earner of the state scoring highest on that metric) are rich by any non-US-specific standard.

  The US is a very, very rich country. That's why so many people want to move to it.

  The top 18% of income earners are in the “rich” category, lol… what are you on about. Of course.
