I'm not talking morally, philosophically, or metaphysically. I mean cash. I'm just curious. I see a lot of people on here talking about their 10 rifles and trips to Africa and it seems to me that there are a significant amount of people on here that are well off. No one here has to tell me what they make. I am just curious if you think you are rich. Me, personally, I think I am one of those average, middle-class, kinda guys. I have the things I need and can splurge once every year or two on a big vacation or something. However, if my wife or I lost our job, we would be pretty screwed within a month. So what do you think?
I made the poll anonymous so no one has to feel bad, guilty, etc. about their answer. Be honest please. I am a curious guy.
So I guess I'll try to quantify those catagories a little....feel free to add/criticize.

Bill Gates is in my Fave Five: You could buy a yacht or airplane tomorrow and not even blink (I don't think there are any of these here)
I'm pretty damn wealthy and can do as I please: That trip to Europe or new car is really no big deal. Your children are set (if you want them to be) and you can do or buy most things without really worrying about it.
I've got more than most people: You're probably in one of the nicer parts of your town. You could survive a major financial hit. You could quit working for a year or two before things got tight.
Above Average: You are doing good. You have nice things (not to be too materialistic.) You can afford a vacation or a big ticket purchase at least once a year. You could take a moderate financial hit, but probably couldn't go without working for more than 6 months.
Working for a living (Would be in trouble if I lost my job): I think this is where most people fit in. You have the things you need. You have a few toys. You can take a vacation or buy something big every year or two. You might be able to absorb a mild financial hit. You would be in serious trouble if you went more than a month or so without work.
Barely making it: You can pay your bills and thats about it. No extra money for splurge expenses. You would be out on your ass if you missed one paycheck.
Sucking off the government teet: Self-explanatory!
