One is the threshold to enter the 1%. The other is the average of all those who have crossed said threshold.

Based just on salary, wife and I make it in in LA, but not TX. If we include what we will make in profit on our investments, and stock awards, then we are 1% in most States

You'd think someone in the top 1% wouldn't be this insecure.

Income doesn't mean a damn thing. There are lost of people with nice six figure incomes that aren't really wealthy at all. Many of them spend too much, are heavily in debt, etc. It is wealth and the ownership of assets that separates the 1% from the rest.

It means a ton. If you make 1% income, you're not wealthy by choice. You can't accumulate 1% wealth and assets without the income at some point.

Take the taxes out and account for living expenses, etc. A $325k income is not going to get you to the real 1%.

But you make it sound like the "real" 1% did it without incredible incomes along the way. That's simply untrue.
