Makes me think of this video I watched a few years back where it talks about an article from Business Insider stating that people need to make $190 million to keep their head above water living in NYC and then they start talking about so much unnecessary spending its unbeleivable. The point is making $400,000 or more should give you a very comfortable life anywhere you want to live. 3 Link to comment

Having a comfortable life and being wealthy are two different things in my book. Definitely can be considered the same for others though. although equating a BI article about people with $190 million and those making $400k seems a stretch. 2 Link to comment

All i said was it reminded me of a video I watched of rich people thinking they need to make a certain anount of money to “keep their head above water” when they spend so much on unnecessary things. If you cant live off of $400,000 comfortably then youre probably spending outside of your means. But yes, being rich is subjective. Im sure people who make as much money as people in the video think someone making $400,000 is a peasant while someone making $30,000 a year thinks someone making $400,000 has it made. Not sure if society will ever reach a conclusion on what is considered wealthy. 2 Link to comment

I can relate to @JJ Husker. Our business benefited from Trump's tax cut and we would be negatively affected by reversing that. So, on a personal note, I have mixed feelings. My comments earlier were solely on an economics basis and financing the government. 1 Link to comment
