  • Some lady was on the radio last night saying she had her kids in a private school but she wasn't rich - I doubt she appreciates how rich she actually is compared to the average citizen.
    Like that electrician(?) on question time that earned 80k and thought he was average.

  • No one does.

    I listened to an interesting programme on this years ago based on a study of the wealthy in NYC. I'll see if I can find it.

    Tl;Dr is that as you increase wealth your benchmarking shifts. As a result you're permanently aware of never being as wealthy as other people you know.

    A bit like being able to afford a nice Trek or a vitsoe desk and shelf, but not being able to afford a Richard Sachs or a full walls worth of shelving.
