The poster you’re replying to had a valid point about the meaning of this data—it’s not some trope or judgement. Calculating someone’s net worth in this way is not considering these things on which money is being spent. In the most non-judge mental way possible, I would love to see some deeper analysis here. Two different households could have the same income, but one could save more (at the expense of missing out on a lot of things that increase quality of life) and another could save less. I don’t at all think badly of the family who saves less, but it is a valid factor to consider in an objective analysis of income inequality’s effect on households.
