Guys, really. You're not going to arrive at concensus. There are SOOO many variables, it's impossible to say what is what. In some areas, $250k is a huge amount, because the average is $25k. In other areas, $250k is just about middle-of-the-road. If you spend $250k per year, you will appear rich. But, if you spend $100 and save $125k, are you any poorer? What if you invest that $125k back into a business?
Rich is like porn - I know it when I see it.
