    I know I’m upper middle class, but $1 million sounds too low these days. Especially if you want someone highly educated. I just had a state university education and military experience and with the rate I’m saving for retirement I’m protected to be more than that $1 million. I’m not trying to brag, I’m trying to say that I hope the people running the country would be better educated and more qualified than me.

      Just an example number. That’s still really high compared to the median net worth of the US being $141,000. And the 90th percentile household wealth was 1.4 million in 2020.

        Yes, but I do want the people running the country to be in the top 10 percentile at least as far as qualifications go. Which doesn’t always translate to wealth, but has a pretty strong correlation.

      I’ll go $10 million, no higher!
