Are you wealthy?

As far as never worrying about money your entire life, that's rarely the case for young adults. The only people for whom that's the case are the upper-middle class marshmallows doing the protesting about "oppression" at universities, because they don't know what an actual tough time actually feels like and assume that everyone else is as soft as they are.

It was the case for me. Joining the military as a tradesman does wonders for the bank account once you get out. Maybe you just need to stop assuming everyone else is soft and learn a valuable skill, then you will have money.
 
I'm rich in likes
 
The short answer to your question is no, but it's funny you mention the household income thing. Both of my parents were professionals and our household income was well over $200k - however, we were raised poor. What I mean by that is my parents were very frugle (cutting coupons, not going on vacations, no brand name anything), because they themselves had grown up dirt poor (in an almost literal sense - they lived in tin houses on stilts back in Guyana). The one area where we were "spoiled" was that my parents invested heavily in our education (neither myself or my siblings paid for university - for as long as we were in school, they would take care of everything financially).

At 31, I have a decent nest egg and some property. Since I don't have kids (or a lavish lifestyle), I save a large chunk of what I earn. I don't think I will ever be wealthy by the definition you gave though - comfortable yes, rich no.

We've already established that you're homeless

And then we established that I'm homeless

And then we established that I got to eat the tuna variety cat food on weekends, and you'd switch to the chicken ones
