What is your opinion of rich people? [View All]

[Herman Munster]

Do you make a distinction between rich people who may have come from modest beginnings but worked hard, went to good schools, and then thrived in the corporate world to become successful vs. the Paris Hilton/Dumbya types that are born with silver feet in their mouths?

Or is anyone who is rich so perverted by money and the things they have to do to get it that their whole value system gets fucked up?

FYI, I'll say a person is rich if they meet any one of these criteria:

1) $150,000 income in a non-metro area or cheap cost of living area (the south, midwest, texas)

or

2) $250,000 income in a major metro or expensive area like NY, CA

or

3) Accumulated assets of over $2 million. If that's the case, you don't have to work for a living. $2 million in assets will get you a 6 figure income even if you invest them in bank CD's without eating principle.
