Feel free to check online for income breakdowns by state and city. I’d say top 10% definitely is high income

I just checked NYC is $300K. Thanks!

NYC bowl makes it sound like you can’t survive with that income, so high income is prob more relative to the top aspirational lifestyle visible within the city vs. just wages (given invisible investments and family wealth)
