Rich People
Thursday, August 28th, 2008So, using Ben Stein’s figures, if he books a speaking engagement just once a month he makes a half million dollars a year. Just for speaking. I think Stein makes a hell of a lot more money than that. And yet he refers to himself as “upper middle class”.
I think that there must be some kind of mental phenomenon that rich people have so they really believe that they are not rich. I don’t want to say that it is a “defect” that they “suffer” from because, let’s face it, they are rich so why feel sorry for them? Who cares if they are happy or not. If they can’t figure out a way to be happy with all that money then they are probably never going to be happy.
So how would I define “rich”? How about personally making ten times the USA median annual household income level? That would be a half a million dollars per year. You may not be “rich” in savings at that point, but you are living “rich”.
I think people like Ben Stein simply have no idea how little money a lot of people are living on in this country.
