Rich is a relitive term.
When I was a sailor rank E-4 I didn't seem rich to myself.
Then one day when I was haggling with a merchant in Djbouti he broke off the game to berate me for being rich and haggleing with a poor guy like himself.
Well he had a point , if he had been getting the pay I was barely getting by on he could've bought a farm and stocked it.
Another thing I saw in Djbouti was refugee camps , everyone was rich to them.
My Great Grandfather was pleased to have a cabin that had a wooden floor, dirt floors being the norm earlyer , since Adam.
