As I said, rich is subjective. My last job paid just shy of your quoted salary and I would not consider that to be rich. Very well off, yes, but not rich. Rich, to me, is what you have behind you in your savings and investments, not what you have to look forward to in salary and the like.

I agree with everything else that you said though.
