      Yeah. We usually consider lawyers, doctors, tech people, academics at fancy universities etc. to be rich. But in the grand scheme of things, they’re upper middle class at best. The real rich are all people with generational wealth coming from businesses.

        Who considered these people to be rich? Rich people don’t have to work. Those are working professionals. Manny of them have high debts for the beginning decade of their careers, too
