Hardly. Well to do, maybe, but not “rich”. 250K just doesn’t have the purchasing power it used too.

Would a compromise be acceptable where the level was set to 300-350K instead?

OK. Now that had me wondering. You have two individuals. They both earn 250K a year. However, one of them has a net worth of 3,000,000 dollars in liquid assets yet the other has, through unfortunate circumstances, has a net worth of zero in liquid assets. Should they be treated equally?
