whoops! Forgot about self-employed - I was only thinking of dividends, interest, and that kind of thing.
$92K AGI isn't chicken feed but depending on where you live, it won't necessarily be the same as "truly rich."
Well, I'm not there, but I am above average. I certainly don't feel rich though.
$92K probably feels richer in the heartland than it does in the big city.
Yes, judging from the costs I see from posters in California and the east coast, I would say that my cost of living is way lower here in Tennessee than it is in those huge metropolitan areas. Real estate is a big part of it, but most everything else is probably cheaper here than it is in most huge cities.
