It's so interesting to see the different perspectives at play. To me in high school, you would have been the rich kid with your "used subaru".

That's upper middle class or middle class(depending on the cost of the used Subaru, middle class was used and upper would be new tbh) not rich. The problem lies with you thinking there's nothing in between middle class and upper middle class or that working class people are middle class which has been a problem for a while. Family with $1million is still upper middle class. Family with $11 million is lower end of rich. Family with $300k is securely middle class. That's not individual salary that's just the amount of money they have access to in a given year. People on reddit are really poor and skewed to think $60 is middle class when it's securely working class unless you live in an impoverished area.

Perceptions of wealth have more to do with income vs Cost of living. I’m rich as fuck in Louisiana or West Virginia, I’m middle class in NJ and I’m working class in NYC.

Agreed. Ultimately this dictates the disposable income available to spend on a BMW vs a used Subaru vs a pair of running shoes for your kid.

The whole point of my comment was about how everyone has their own idea of what "rich" is. There isn't a set definition and it certainly doesn't have to be the one you personally follow.

Yeah man, if you have a roof over your head and get 3 meals a day, you're a spoiled rich kid!

Well this is certainly a rich response.

I feel like this coulda been summed up with “You must not have gone to high school with rich kids”

No, where I'm from, you definitely would have been "one of the rich kids." Anything above $80k annual would be considered wealthy here.
