Of course it does. People with money have options - they have no excuses for not being comfortable with their life.
The poor guy can only choose among a few places on earth to live, needs to work a lot and will have a hard time surviving otherwise.
This complaining guy can live basically anywhere or could have been living at the level of the poor guy and retire after a few years of earning his 99th percentile income.
I just can't fathom the mindset of people who think they deserve to live a high society lifestyle. Their position is FAPP strictly better than 99% of people currently alive on Earth.
- pc86 10y agoStandard of living is relative but largely local/regional. Saying that everyone in NZ has it made because they should just be happy they weren't born in Bangladesh or something is incredibly short-sighted.
