Wonder if they'll follow up with some shocking headline: "Poll Finds Majority of Americans are Poor!"

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

+1. That's why I've never understood the whole focus on FICO score. You could be living paycheck to paycheck with no savings but as long as you pay your bills every month, you can have a higher score than someone with assets of $2 million who pays cash and doesn't finance.

The way that poll is set up is a lot of the problem in peoples finances. We've probably all known the guy that makes 200 grand a year and spends 250. When in reality the guy that makes 50 and only spends 30 is a whole lot better off.

That’s the truth, the poll is just about income and has nothing to due with wealth.

Net worth/assets are a much better gauge than income.

The poll didn't mention "wealth" it mentioned "rich." That's why it is a dumb poll.

I'm in the 55th percentile.
But, I live 100 miles from the nearest city.
My expenses are lower.


And, that's income, not wealth.


Our home is paid for, our cars are paid for, we haven't borrowed in 15 years.
401's for both of us that are considered well funded (I'm not as confident, just boosted 4%)
an IRA, Enough cash immediately available to live at least 6 months easy.

Rich? No.

Comfortably well off? Yep!

A kid hopefully headed to college in two years, another 4 years behind,
we will be able to help some, but not come close to covering it.

If we could, then I would feel rich!

Not living in Fayetteville is wealth in and of itself!

Rich is not about income. Assets, neither. Rich is simply being happy as a clam with what you have......
