The reality of life is that a beggar will compare himself to the next beggar, not to the middle class executive. Likewise the middle class white collar executive will compare himself to the guy in the next corporate office, and not to the multi millionaire. Hence the multi millionaire won't give any ear to anything the middle class exec says, who won't give a hoot about what the beggar says.(eg my bonus for 2016 was rm10,000 or I just made an average of rm5,000 per month trading cpo futures spreads)
