Reply #82: I consider us rich.

We can pay our bills, send our kids to private school (which will be changing next fall--public school is just as good and a hell of a lot cheaper--long story), and eat well. There was a time when the credit cards helped us eat, and we were struggling to pay our bills. We never went hungry, but we were close. We never went without needed medication, but that was because of my mom sending the money. Now we can pay her back for all those years of helping us out.

On the other hand, we aren't rich-rich. That idea's laughable. We'll never be that rich.
