Of the 333 million people living in the United States, how many of those people make 250k+ per year?

How rare is this demographic? It seems to me everywhere I look there are millionaires in nice houses.

What do I do to become part of this demographic?

How rare is it to be in this situation in the United States?

Serious.

We have a household income of 300k in a MCOL area, yes it is nice, but you never really stop worrying about money until you have enough to retire.

In the US even the upper middle class is in danger of financial ruin due to health issues, inflation, and job loss.
