I was privately educated and spent my childhood in a seven bedroom house.
Now I earn £140,000 a year (plus expenses), live in a house worth around £750,000 house and have a pension pot pension pot worth over £1M.
It could be very worrying.

I'm not sure what that phrase actually means, like most of us here I know people who earn vast sums have houses worth more than the above figure and have all the trappings that go with their accumulated wealth - second homes,yachts and a plane for example.
It will as you say depend greatly on where the lines are drawn.

it may also depend where you are. here's an estate agent blurb for a house worth £700k. it's not a palace, it's a bog standard between the wars semi. people who live nearby aren't rich, they're ordinary joes. do they deserve to be fleeced by the labour party?

The only worrying one would teh £million pension pot. It's not a smuch as it sounds. The get the equivalent value of a state pension you'd need a pot of over a quarter of a million. A million pound pot might get you an annuity of £30000 a year in retirement which would make you comfotable but not rich. Pension pots worth well over a million are quite common place for those in good company schemes who also stuck away thousands in AVCs aevery year rather than blowing it.
As an aside, I thought you stopped earning £140K pa a while ago in a previous job, YMB
