You might not see yourself that way. I know a lady with a fannnncccyyyyy house in a very very upper class neighborhood who also dropped a million plus for an apartment in Rechavia and lives a very privileged lifestyle who told me [and she meant it] that she is not "rich" but not poor. Somewhere in the middle. Right. And I am an overweight ballerina. If I were as "not rich" as her I would be by faarrrrr the richest man in my whole city and would happily support yeshivos and kollelim, feed the poor and gladden the widow [בל"נ יקויים בקרוב בעז"ה!].
Do you have electricity? Running water? Decent shoes on your feet? Tiled floors? Then you are richer than hundreds of millions of people on earth. Can you afford eye glasses and dental work? Ditto. Did you have three filling meals recently? Do you have food in your cupboards? Oh boy, are you lucky!! PLENTY of people don't. We just don't view ourselves are rich because we spend so much time running after the money we DON'T have.
Do you have a car? A home phone? A cellphone/smartphone? A computer? Internet access? A radio? A television? Chas vishalom. A fridge? A washing machine? 150 years ago not a soul on earth had ANY of these comforts. Not the King of England. Not the richest man on earth. NOT NOBODY! And we can't live a few hours without them.
SO THANK YOU HASHEM FOR MAKING US SOOOOO RICH AND OUR LIES SOOOOO COMFORTABLE!!!
