When did you begin to 'feel rich'?

For the higher ups here on WSO, when did you begin to 'feel' rich? As a starting analyst, I know that I am being paid very well for my age but it still don't feel like I've made it. It doesn't feel like I can spend money on whatever I want. At what point in my career will I no longer care that much about having to make ends meet? Do people even ever get to feel that way?
