- kipqi 7y agoWealth is useless. I bet Spaniards have more wealth because they own houses instead of renting. But that's some wealth they can't touch. What are they going to do, live under a bridge? "poor" is simply a generic term, personally I think it's income what defines if you live a poor's life or a rich's life.
- JanSt 7y agoNot having to pay rent seems to be far from useless. Substract that rent from the disposable income and recheck the numbers. Wealth is worth much more than income.
