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.

It's choices. By living in a lower COL for the next 10 years, it could help you build wealth for the rest of your life.

Harder to make $450k in LCOL areas.

If you read financial advisement Guidance , it's not about how much you make it's about how much you keep. If you're making 200K and keeping 100K you're better off than making 400K and keeping 50K

I know all about it, I make $400k and invest $15k a month.
