標題: definition of RICH in terms of salary [打印本頁]

作者: fibbi 時間: 2009-1-2 16:02 標題: definition of RICH in terms of salary

Since we have a few threads about job/salary etc., just wondering, how do you define RICH? I mean, getting what salary $ here you would consider rich?

(Yeah I know we can be rich spiritually but it's harder to "measure", so let's talk about something quantitative first.)

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2009-1-2 16:13

I think anything beyond what a doctor/dentist makes I'd consider "rich"...probably less than 3% of the population

That is if we're talking about in Canada. In HK, it's a different scale.

How long have you been living in Canada?

I have information taken from Canadian Government Tax Department data.

Are you ready to see the truth?

Go...show me the money

I would agree w/ you this time...

That's HK standard.

Here, I would say getting 200K annually considered as rich...simply because 200K gross income = $120K or $130K net?

作者: rockypath 時間: 2009-1-2 18:44

it is depressing. i didn't know Canadian are not making as much money as I though. ....

One of my friends living in US is making 80,000+ USD a year... It seems to be impossible for me to catch him...

btw, he is not considered "being Rich" in the Bay area.

能否算為富有不能只計入息﹐因為好多人入息高但支出也高﹐出來的數字分分鐘係負數。。也要看他的資產淨值。

作者: ricrick 時間: 2009-1-2 20:00

計甘多做乜？
anyone richer then me is rich

If you live in the "country-side" long enough, it is easy to lose focus.

You'd think, oh all the white people in North America are like that, all the jobs are all like that, the economy is like that ...

Some people even say Richmond is a big city. Look at how developed we are along #3 Road and around downtown Richmond?

When, in fact, this place is nothing compared to New York city, Chicago, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, London, Paris and other REAL world-class city.

Or maybe you came to Canada at a very young age, you didn't know how good Hong Kong was and still is.

I won't compare countries I'm not familiar about. However, in which way(s) you think HK is still good or better than here?
May I quote some facts, there are people jumped down from the top of buildings and killed themselves from time to time because of "poor" (due to false investment or bankruptcy or whatever); yet did/how many similar situations happened here?

if u earn that amount in canada, you can't be consider rich. you can at best be well off. just the tax alone cost you 70-80k. which is 1/5th of an average apartment.
the tax is also a reason why people rather earn "enough"

to equal earning of 1m in HK, you gotta be pulling at least 350k here in canada. but with the amount of work u do to earn that much here, you could be earning 2m in hk already.

here, you have to work twice as hard and earn half as much.

Same as mainland china, this regime here doesn't like to report certain news. Open a new thread and I will provide more information.

Canadians want to portray here as the best place to stay, so certain bad news are not reported. The naive people think we are higher class place here.

作者: 大C姐 時間: 2009-1-3 15:50

我好想講句好罕嘅說話﹕心中富有。

當然有D人覺得我咁講好流爛浪漫。但係真係咩叫有錢? 有嘢食有屋住就已經好OK﹐當然開唔開心係你心態問題。但係富有真係講你有幾貪錢。我自問貪﹐所以自覺都唔算好有。

But let's move back to total income for Canadians, and climb further up the scale to see where the meat is. Let's move all the way up to where about 2/3rds of individuals have lower incomes. In 2004, you were in the top third of incomes if you made more than…are you ready? $35,000. Sometime this group

I know what you're saying. Let's go higher! Okay, let's move up to the top quintile line. At this level of income, 80 percent of people made less than you. The number? Only 19.8 percent of Canadians with an income made $50,000 or more in 2004. Sometime this group

Hm...actually do I care about the stats? Probably not. Even though (IF) I'm the top 10%, if I can't afford an LV bag (just an example of luxury item), I don't consider myself to be rich.

Of course, rich in the heart is more important. This topic is just to say how would you define rich in terms of salary...

I would say having $10K/month income (net, after tax), that's pretty "rich"...

有錢人係唔會每個月逗人工﹐通常係一次過上落。

我就覺得有錢人就一定唔會係打工仔啦﹐講完。

如果你仲係諗住發達但係又無諗住創業就死左條心啦。打工仔係永遠唔會賺得多過個老細。

所以其實呢個topic係好費囉。你問呢個問題同"definition of OLD","definition of GOOD","definition of HAPPY"又乜分別呢?

李生邊在乎份"人工"呀﹐咪搞笑啦。

打工王帝極其量係一班薪金偏高﹐工作性質又優閒嘅打工一族。可以好富足﹐但係並非有錢人。

呢個世界如果老闆賺得少過員工﹐仲有人做生意?

我唔係話樓住廢﹐我係話個topic好空範﹐好費神。其實唔係好想諗咩工賺得最多錢﹐因為一定唔係自己做緊果份。

I know what 老細 means in a private corp but how do you define 老細 in a public corp?

there are so many shareholders...so each one of them is 老細?

if yes, then a top exec can certainly make more than a 老細 when earnings per share is negative right?
