I can confirm that more or less. A month ago I visited a village where a new groundwater well was just completed. Some of the people there have to walk miles to get to that well to fetch water. Every day. And if they had to pay for the water, they would struggle.
Last week I took my kids and a friend to dinner. We spent about 50$. Not much for us for 4 people. But for quite a lot of locals we just blew a months earning or more in one evening. This income difference baffles me every time.
Myself I am out of work for a year, and while I saved some money, if I don't find some remote work soon I'll have to pack my bags and move my whole family back to Europe to file for unemployment. But I am not complaining because at least I do have that option. The people here around me don't. So despite my situation I am still privileged.
