So they’re wealthier than you. Why is that a problem? In the ongoing class war we’re all still on the same side. There’s no need for division over minor differences in wealth. Indeed that’s one of the tools of the owner class to keep workers from achieving class solidarity. Let’s not play into their hands.
The person I replied to is being an asshole and needs to remember their own privilege. This has nothing to do with a class war and everything to do with that commenter’s attitude to the person they replied to.
Pretty sure it’s because they are saying being able to afford groceries without worrying about cost makes you rich. Which it really doesn’t.
Rich is relative. If you’re making $500k but have 10 kids, you’re almost certainly not rich. Kids are expensive. You just make a lot of money.
Potential disposable income is what differentiates. $500k as a single person with no kids is going to make you rich, even in the highest cost of living areas. You simply don’t have high expenses unless you purposefully get expense stuff.

Believe it or not, no, you are being the asshole right now.
How?

I guess that’s where we are all disagreeing here. My opinion is that taking on more expenditures doesn’t make you less rich.
Math isn’t opinion based
Telling someone to check their privilege when they tried to accurately describe the level of rich they are?
In what way is that person being an asshole? Did they call you a poor loser?
