The difference of the definition of "wealth" in Europe and the US is insane to me
 | I was reading many posts on how to get wealthy, and what I noticed was that Americans would say they are "wealthy" after amassing $2-5 million. First, it is INSANE to see this much money. The salaries here are not even close to the US counterparts (unless u are Swiss). I think Europeans consider themselves "wealthy" even after having $0.5-1 million. The difference could stem from the general social security and that you can rely more on the state in case you are in need. But I am most curious about both the US and EU perspectives because this is just something I noticed (maybe fully wrong). So what do you think, would you consider wealth in your country?
