I was just talking about this today with a colleague of mine. Rich and Poor are such relative terms. Depending where in the class system you are and what you deem valuable. Someone who has $250,000.00 in the bank may consider themselves "tapped" because it's not the usual million they have normally...that in some opinions is still rich..where someone else can cover all their bills and only have $100 left over and still consider themselves better than most. I'm not sure if I'm being clear(it was a meandering conversation at best)but I agree with your point. :)
