OK
Let me repeat what you just said
Income alone can not be a definitive factor in a person being considered upper class
There, I said something really fricking stupid. Are you happy. You said it can't be a definitive factor which is leaps and bounds the dumbest thing in this thread. If you said income alone isn't the ONLY factor then you might have sounded smart.
Too bad

But this question is not asking "cost of living".
Of course it is
It gives a location so cost of living is a huge factor in the equation
Here are the factors
income
cost of living
spending habits
If you live in LA and make 700K a year and have decent spending habits you'll be rich
There is no other way about it

Are you really trying to question my use of words?
Really? Considering that definitive means "conclusive" or "able to derive a definition."
Wow. You're really just going down swinging aren't you.
IT MEANS THE SAME THING YOU TWIT!

That's bullshite. You're backtracking.
You added EXPENSE to the equation. Which you refused to do before.

I think if you are upper class, that is not a concern.
Not true

Expense was implied as soon as location was brought to the table
I've already said that in some areas of the country 700K would only make you upper middle class
NYC for example

Look up the word factor and get back to me
You think you're winning but you're making yourself look stupid

Now if something was a definitive factor, then it would mean that it would need no other factor to define it.
It means the same fricking thing. Now you're really losing.
Give up.

bullshite. Location implies cost of living. Not number of expenditures (aka private shcool, cars, house etc.)
And you've been saying that no matter what number of expenditures you have, 700k denotes high class.
You're wrong.

factor-one of the elements contributing to a particular result or situation
definitive-most reliable or complete, as of a text, author, criticism, study, or the like
That doesn't mean it's the ONLY factor
It just means it's the most important, which it is

so explain to me how saying that "income can not be considered the conclusive element contributing to a person being considered upper class" is wrong again.
Man. You're terrible.

using the definition from dictionary.com
definitive-most reliable or complete, as of a text, author, criticism, study, or the like
That implies that income is the most important factor in determining whether or not one can be rich
If you don't have a high income you can't be rich
I'm right, you're wrong. What else is new?

look boy.
First of all, you're the one that said, I should say "ONLY". I said it right the first time. There can be gazillion "factors" in any equation.
We're looking for the one that can lead us to the answer. The defining factor.
Second, when in math does something have "one factor"
I said it right the first time. you're the one being a complete idiot.

what the frick? you're using the wrong definition you fricking idiot.
Definitive means "conclusive". Look at defnition 2.

Right and it would have been correct if you said it that way

Some being more important than others. Some are almost negligible. In this case THE MOST IMPORTANT VARIABLE is income.

Ever heard of compound interest
Interest from investments is part of your income
That's why you get taxed on it
I didn't think someone as smart as you would fall into that trap
You're confusing income with salary

Now, I'll grant you it is EASIER to become rich with a high income. But, it is not a certanty. Nor is it a requirement.
So it's not a requirement to being High Class? Are the people with no income, who are still considered High Class?
So is Income the conclusive, defining, specifying factor in being Upper Class?
Children, please answer.

Okay, I'll not go into a full on financial discussion here. but, lets just say that equity growth AND interest inside of a RothIRA or Roth401k plan is NOT TAXED
But it could still be considered a form of income no?
And wouldn't this play into my argument that someone who makes 700K a year could easily be rich if they invest properly?
