My husband and I are what many of our friends would consider "rich." And compared to most people, even most Americans, we are (though not in "the 1%"). Money is such a tricky subject, though.
The one way in which I absolutely do consider us to be rich is that our house is paid for. No mortgage or rent makes a huge difference in the MA economy. (When the wealth happened at that company, almost everyone who got it went out and bought a house. Practical people: "At least no matter what happens, I'll have a place to live." Few looked at it as an investment.")
