I'm talking about the global ~1%, who control about half of the world's wealth.[0] Sure, I'm in the US. But I live in a ~70 m^2 apartment, which is highly insulated. I do own a car, but it's small and old. I don't commute, and fly very rarely.
It's true that having little money drives much of that. I've never liked working, unless it was something that interested me. And I've rarely (maybe 3-5 years, out of 50 adult years) had a 9-5 job. But conversely, being OK with a fairly simple life gave me freedom to not care much about money.
Anyway, I'd say that I'm pretty close to the global middle class. Close enough, at least.
