You're probably rich - most of us are richer than we think. Our perception is a bit warped by the media.
I found this little Rich-o-meter on a Wall Street Journal blog:

you can plug in either a salary or a net worth, and it will rank against the US data. ( I think the data is a few years old)
when I first saw this, I thought it couldn't be accurate- I mean - look at all the doctors everywhere and they should all be richer than I am. I googled it and doctors only make up 0.3% of the population. The 14 Walmart heirs have as much money as the bottom 40 million americans. That really warps the numbers.
