I agree with the person responding to you and would just add that "rich" shouldn't be defined as "this is how much everyone should have". Rich is more like "could afford to not work for decades if not forever" or something along those lines.

I don't know. By that definition people who have saved and barely afford retirement are "rich".

I thought it was clear that this loose definition would not include retirement age people.

I don't think you intended it to, but it does. Defining things can be hard.
