It doesnt prove my first point wrong at all. The idea of wealth is simply relative.

In US 30,000 isnt that much

But if you lived in Rural China you would have FAR more than almost all your neighbors.

The majority of the Earths population do not live in 1st world countries.

So who is rich and who is poor?


I think this is more of a relatively speaking term. Someone who makes 30,000 a year in NYC is extremely poor but if they make that in russia then they pretty good, if they make that in africa they pretty dang rich.

 

As for me I am poor relatively as I owe student loans in excess.
