The fed’s net worth quantiles are all positive. It’s depressing to learn that I came from the bottom of the bottom tier. Income was median, but my dad bought (mortgaged) an ‘unbuildable’ foreclosed lot and we built a house as a family activity in a rich town. I never knew the difference, didn’t even notice the fancy clothes and expensive cars. I still don’t know what wealth is supposed to feel like, nor do I care. I have zero interest in restaurants and luxury travel. The more free I am with purchases, the more bullshit accumulates in my life that I never use. If I had to choose objectively based on experience, I’d probably stick with being poor. The best was zero money and possessions as a vagabond because I was forced to be social to survive. But I’m not throwing it away just yet, because that next level of wealth is supposed to be oh so much better. Can’t wait for the disappointment on that one.
