Poor is where you must work to maintain your lifestyle.

Rich is where your money makes you enough money to a point where you need not work to maintain your lifestyle (but can choose to).



That's not a common definition of poor. This is one that would be more in line with typical use:

> Lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society.

Said no one ever. That's almost insulting to people who have actual financial problems.


This is the most Silicon Valley thing I’ve ever read and it makes me sad how far we’ve come from the pure joy of hacking.
