You know, it's tricky. I get called rich on the Internet, based on my position and salary. But I don't feel rich. I don't own my own home and I doubt I ever will. I rarely take vacations,I don't eat out - too expensive. I don't go to the pub with my friends anymore, can't afford it.

Because I live in Vancouver, an expensive city.

It's all relative.

It’s totally relative. My husband and I together in Germany earn about half of what I used to earn alone in the US (we’re a student and an apprentice, so we earn especially little). I’m still significantly more prepared for emergency costs now than I used to be, because the total rent for my apartment is about half what I used to pay, and I no longer have significant health/health insurance or vehicle costs.

Post things your (least) fav billionaire does.

This used to be the Elon Musk sub, but in an attempt to boost engagement, we have engaged a new pathway.

You can post anything related to billionaires here.
