What do you consider wealthy

[Gandalf]

In the UK we have what is called the 'Preme barometer' whereby if you earn over £24,000 a year, Preme's annual salary you are officially wealthy by UK standards.

In recent times there has been a move towards replacing the middle class with Preme class, a step above the average working man but not quite aristocracy.

It's the class all of us common folk aspire to get to.

Is that individual or household income? Either way, I'm wealthy by UK standards. Nice to know.

Well the £24,000 is Preme's individual income. But he almost certainly still lives at home with his mum so probably applies to household income too. I can't imagine a man as wealthy as Preme would suffer the indignity of having his mum being forced to work.

If that is what Preme is earning then he's doing alright for his age. At least he is getting off his rear end and trying to make a living the honest way. Nothing wrong with it at all, give it a rest man!

I am far from wealthy, I'm quite comfortable though. I'm an educated young type and have saved my money quite wisely ever since being a debt laden young sod in the nation of epic consumerism. Mark TKO has the figure I'm most in tune with. I think 2 million pounds including assets is an ideal figure on which to get out of the rat race for good....and to live very well. You could do it on a million, but would need to exercise considerably more caution in your outgoings.
