I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s the dividing line used in the parent comment to yours, but one interesting dividing line is people employed full time with benefits vs everyone else.<p>Maybe a slightly better line would be based on US GDP. Per capita it is ~$53,000, capturing a share of the economy larger than that can reasonably be described as doing ok (of course the line would be different for a household than an individual).
