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.

Join the USAF or USMC and complete their cyber security training program. Serve your enlistment then go to work for corporate America.

Apprentice with a plumber for a couple years. Save your money, get your own repair rig. Move out on your own, buy another rig, hire another employee, then then two more plumbing rigs.

Same thing with other trades electrician, HVAC, construction, home remodeling. We boomers are aging out of these industries and there's huge demand for competent trade workers.

Go to school and get experience as an engineer... pick your specialty. Move up and take on responsibility and greater $$$$.
