That iPhone is 15x more (I don't know the exact price, sorry)? Same order of magnitude.

3% of your monthly salary for $200-$500 shoes (I see plenty amateur runners getting carbon sole shoes in this price range, for instance), when you could get a pair for less than $50.

Ok I don’t know who’s running around talking about their monthly compensation or what that has to do with billionaires but sure, I see your math now.

Thanks you for adding a slight to your "understanding" statement. You can try figuring out the point I was making (wealth is relative, even "commoners" like us overspend from someone else's perspective).

I would say most of Europe talks and thinks in monthly (and even net after-tax salary), so hopefully that helps in the future when someone does not adapt to US gross annual salary figures for you.
