I make 30K, I could afford to live in a bigger appartment if I wanted. The idea that I would be forced to house share with six other people is crazy to me, especially if my salary was three times higher.
This whole thread is a reminder of how stingy rich people are.

But this all comes down to a perception of "wealthy". You might make six figures, but if you've no house etc. do you think you're wealthy?
I don't buy the idea that someone making six figures can't afford a place to live. I just don't.
Seems like emotional reasoning to me.
Perception is all about emotion.
They don't _feel_ wealthy.
Yes, someone on six figures *can* afford a place to live. And be very comfortable
But the whole point of this thread is that they don't feel "wealthy"
In my unskilled job, white collar workers totally ignore me, treat me like I don't exist.
It doesn't surprise me that they take their office job and their Tesla and their nice appartment for granted.
Likely they're thinking "I'm middle class, I'm not rich"
Like if you're saying "look at them in their Tesla" (which is mid price for an electric car) They're likely going "look over there, they have a new Porsche"
There's probably a tipping point into "I'm rich"
