First-World and Third-World Perspectives

First-World:

"Enough" = a high 5-figure salary, cars less than 10 or 15 years old, a house, the techno-toys you use are reasonably current;

"Wealthy" = a 6-figure (or higher!) income, new personal luxury cars every 2 or 3 years (if and as desired), a house large enough to require professional cleaning help, all the latest techno-toys.

Third-World:

"Enough" = having shelter and enough to eat for today;

"Wealthy" = having shelter and enough to eat for tomorrow as well.


Being First-World Wealthy isn't a sin, but what do you do with your stuff, and what does your stuff do to you? He who dies with the most "toys" is dead.
