I suppose it comes down to what you consider to be rich.
To some, having a roof over your head , a meal on the table and keeping warm would be considered rich..to others just normal.


The other side of the coin is how people choose to spend these 'riches'.
Two families can earn the same or have the same income, one family might scrimp and save a bit for a rainy day, the other family might blow it all as it comes in, same chances in life, different choices, different end result come that rainy day.
