Agreed - I am in Australia and am also very high on both the income and wealthy stakes.
There are all sorts of things that can/would skew the results in one direction of another. But many people in this thread seem to be working towards convincing themselves they aren't really that wealthy because of X or Y reason.
In Australia for example, there have been significant numbers of polls that indicate that people believe the rich should pay more tax. The same respondants indicate that they are poor or 'middle-income.' Then when they're asked to list their income or assets, it becomes clear they are actually upper class.
People naturally believe they are worse off than they are, and that others should shoulder a greater burden.
