I suspect his information is out of date, $50k isn't a lot of money but 10 or 20 years ago it was.
Was it? I made that out of college almost 20 years ago. It wasn't what I would call rich
Yes, it was. If it helps, $50K then would be $81K today. The average minimum wage these days across the US is $8.5 an hour, or $17K per year.
So it is... it absolutely is. Even today it is quite a lot to many people.
