[quote=Anonymous]"Based on that link, we should not talk about "wealthy" at all. It is apparent that "wealthy" means "how much the guy ahead of me has"." Subjectively speaking - that is, people's experience of wealth - tends to be exactly that. People tend to FEEL wealthy when they have more than the other people they know, or more than they grew up with. They tend not to feel wealthy when they have less than other people they know, or less than they grew up with. I think this is part of why the Millennials are such a mess. A lot of them grew up middle class, with a lot of luxury in their lives - big houses, big cars, etc - and are now facing a really shitty economy with high housing prices, and can't afford the things they grew up thinking of as normal. So they feel really, really poor. (And go back home to live with their parents in their big houses rather than live in the much smaller places they could afford on their own.)[/quote]
