If I had a wife and kids with what I make I would not call myself rich. Heck, even WITHOUT the wife and kids I don't consider myself rich (or stinking rich) but I do have a pretty comfortable life, own my own house, have a brand new car, have done some traveling the last few years, I even went to Europe recently when I got a good deal with a travel agent. But no exotic sports cars, no mansion, no designer suits, no supermodel trophy wife, so, nope, I'm definetely not rich.
