I look at how my medical bills are eating me alive and wonder how people who make less than I do, or who have larger families or greater medical expenses than I do survive.
Yet, I can't complain all that much. Because despite my reduced standard of living I am still rich in comparison to the rest of the world. I am still living much better than most of the world.
I have food to eat, a roof over my head (at least until my medical bills ruin me). I have electricity, access to the internet. More than most people I would be considered well off. I don't feel very well off, mostly because I remember when I was well off. Today I have to worry about paying my bills. Not because I am a big spender, my biggest extravagance would be my love of used book stores. No, the expense that is taking me down is my health.
The same reason I am single is the reason I am poor. Well poor in that I am having a hard time making ends meet.
Still, in many ways, I am rich.
