... But not in the bay area. It would make you comfortable, but not rich.

Yeah, but they are talking about 99+% of the population here, so I assume that's not just the bay area, or we're really in a bubble.

Surely I'm not the only one who would settle for comfortable?

I have no interest in being rich, personally.

Not trying to pass judgement on anyone, just genuinely curious how common it is in SV to be unhappy with an income that would make you comfortable, but not rich.

The article specifically says it would put you in the top 5% of earners in the US.

How many people who live in this area are in said top 5%?
