six figures for a lifetime actually makes you rich as gently caress
it lets you retire comfortably and own a home / have no debt in many parts of the country if you're not a financial moron but it's hardly "rich" material

if you think earning $100k makes you rich then you really need some perspective on how income and wealth are distributed in the united states

do you have a degree? do you speak english or french? are you married to somebody who speaks english or french?

if you answered yes to some of these questions, then you could get permanent residency for like $1000 of test/admin fees. if not then you could overstay a visa i guess

100K a year makes you rich globally, pretty rich in the US, but still not nearly rich enough to not be badly hosed by capitalism.

the trickle down thing doesn't really pass muster under high school econ, a cursory analysis of our current situation wrt supply/demand and other basic concepts of that level actually emphasizes the need for demand-side federal spending & regulation, i.e. minimum wage, social safety net

mainstream economics is an edifice of total nonsense that obscures those kinds of basic principles and will be remembered in the same breath as alchemy and phrenology in time. only a minority of current economists design models that are even slightly realistic or scientifically rigorous.

Even in San Fran you can live in some 3k a month apartment that probably has a bunch of mold and rats the whole year and still be spending less on rent as a portion of your income than someone making 1/3 that but living somewhere cheaper

100k only doesn't make you rich in the sense that "rich" means nothing. It definitely makes your life comfy unless you're a total trainwreck when it comes to spending, and The American Dream (tm) is well within your grasp
