To me, being financially self-reliant means that one has a realistic financial plan, and is working towards some sort of realistic financial goals (whether these are big goals like building an empire, or smaller goals like paying off your credit card debt) and relying on one's own capability or ingenuity to arrive at these goals.
My perception is that most of us here are financially self-reliant at this point, but that this self-reliance increases with age (moreso than with income).
According to census.gov, median age in the U.S. is 36.4 years old. Median household income in 2006 was $48,451.
Do you consider yourself to be pretty much financially self-reliant?
Are you above or below the median age (36.4)?
Is your household income above or below the median ($48,451) ?
