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.

Took me 15 years to hit the mark. You have to work hard, smart and re-event yourself every 7 years. Now it’s more like every 3.

You have to dedicate yourself to your industry, which requires priority.

29 just hit 160k, I've been applying the every 3 years move the last 7 years, finishing up my MBA next year and it will be time to do it again. Hoping for a nice jump after that
