POLL: At what salary range is a person considered "well off, wealthy, or just rich"?

It seems like my perception of this number grows larger and larger the deeper I get in my career...

This is a difficult poll bc this number obviously changes if you live in Cali, DC, or Chicago... so take those really high cost of living places off the map. Likewise with places with an incredibly low cost of living.

this kinda highlights an issue. Big household income doesn't turn into wealth

They're different terms to me.
