Reply #21: Stinking rich is a billion or more in assets.

[Cleita]

Anything under that, which still gives you an income that you can afford to buy what you want and go where you want is rich.
If you can afford your own home, or two or three, several cars and belong to a country club, but still have to have a job or career, even if you are worth millions, does not make you stinking rich. You could lose it in a stock market crash.

Upper middle class means you have a good job that pays well and maybe enough savings to be a millionaire, but not enough for a rich man's income.

Lower middle class, you have a good job, a home, savings and a couple of cars but you have to live on a budget.

Anything below that is poor.

If you are homeless then you aren't even poor, you are destitute.
