Having a lot of money mean next to nothing unless you have a plan about what "wealthy" is to you and how you plan to utilize that. And it's different for everyone. I had a friend out of business school say he'd be happy maxing out at 65k a year because it's enough to have a comfortable life that enables him to spend time in the mountains. Other friends wanted to make a fortune in the patch.
My rule of thumb has been that getting out of living paycheque-to-paycheque means you've already achieved a type of "wealth", which is something many Canadians don't have the luxury of. I wish everyone had that privilege.
