What does it take in terms of assets, abilities, and/or income for you to consider them wealthy?

    I would still say that’s not true… I probably make half as much as you but I just try to be extremely frugal… just saying it’s doable

      I do make maximum contributions, but I also have two kids with college funds and a mortgage that I’m paying down. We’re comfortable, and I consider myself extremely fortunate for the life I’ve built for myself.

      Unfortunately, it took me a while to pay off college debts, and then the 2008 crash wiped out a lot of our savings. I don’t expect to ever have enough saved to actually retire.
