How much do you need to make to be considered "rich" or "wealthy".
Both are subjective values.

I think you are talking about people that have inherited "old money" or have worked hard for a good while to make the amount that is needed to live that type of lifestyle. Most of these people have basically all or most of their money in good investments that get them paid either through the stock market or businesses that run themselves where they don't have to poke their nose in too often.
You could make a good product, or business and sell it to make millions like Mark Cuban.

*Dead* @ asking how to be rich and also not work a 9-5 or have a college degree. So you wanna chill and be a bum but still have money? Seems feasible.
I live in NYC and went to private school and grew up around tons of kids who were very wealthy. You get wealthy by working your ##! off, simple as that. #*$@ a 9 to 5, you get rich by working and 8-12, going home sleeping for 6 hours and repeating the same thing every damn day, 6 days of the week. This is the problem with America, no one wants to actually work hard anymore.

All the obvious things like saving money, spending within your means, and planning for the future can all lead to a very nice lifestyle with a slightly above average income. However, to obtain true wealth in the sense you're speaking, you need to own income producing assets and then leverage that income to obtain more assets.
I'm not going to front like I'm a millionaire, but I have a few close relative who are. Their key to success was establishing a small business, growing it to a mid-sized operation, and then selling it. But just to go from a small operation to something valued around $25-50M takes so much dedication and sacrifice. After seeing some of the things they went through, I don't know if I could or would do it. Not only that, but during and after, they invested in other assets of which are primarily real estate. I have an uncle now who has a dozen or so properties that are all paid off so aside from routine maintenance and paying some of his employees (property managers, accountants, etc), it's all profit.

QFT.
If you're working a 9-5 DO NOT plan on being rich/wealthy. You can be well-off, but if you want to make multiple millions of dollars
you're going to be working longer and harder than anyone else.

What percentage am I in when I want to expand my practice to another location, but I'm reluctant because if I hire the staff I need, I'm slammed with the taxes for adding someone to payroll i.e. SS and Medicare, and around $200 per paycheck per employee for Unemployment? I need about 10 employees, 2 front desk, 2 medical billers, 2 medical assistants, 1 Xray tech, and 1 Nurse Practitioner.

NT used to be filled with hustlers, I don't know where they all went. Topics similar to this one come up pretty often these days.
