      2.5M post tax lets you move to the suburbs and live off of $50k/yr from bonds (nothing) or $200k/yr from 8% stock market returns $200k/yr isn't rich, but one can surely retire on it and have a nice $600k house using 3:1 borrow vs income

      $200k a year is *definitely* rich.

      It's a middle class income for a family. Quite comfortable! Very comfortable! ...but not remotely "rich".

      To a certain extent, but there's a lot of lifestyle inflation at play in those situations, too. Feeling entitled to sending kids to private schools, etc.

      I was a fac brat in a prep school, and I distinctly remember a certain classmate claiming to be middle class by referencing the cost of yacht sails as a burden. His sister threw a tantrum when the family got a A4 rather than an A8, b/c "that's what poor ppl drive".

          Similar income. Feel much more comfortable than that (bc in boonies, and 25 years of adulthood acquiring tools and furniture and house) but also absolutely not rich. Two meals out per week at "family dining" tier places.

          The subjectivity of "feel rich" seems like that place where lifestyle inflation happens, since it exists in comparison with peers. If you have people who've been in and out of homelessness in your bubble, 6 months income saved can feel like guilt-inducing obscene riches.

          Downpayment? Thought most houses in Seattle/Redmond/Bellevue usually require a full cash payment due to demand.

          This is so weird to me, me and my wife's combined income doesn't break 6 figures and we apparently live rather more comfortably than you, entirely based on location.

          I suspect that there are two things (as there are w my own situation vs Eigen): 1) cost of living for some things (e.g. housing ) is much much lower 2) definition of normal / reasonable is different
