Got news for you, the top 1% != the top 0.1%. Honestly I’ve used “is someone rich?” If they can shrug off any medical bill and not have to change their quality of life. There are literally bills that are 5-7 digits which even someone in the top 1% can’t handle. Hell I’m technically in the top 6% and if I got cancer or another rare illness, my finances would be straight up fucked.

So, though those people may seem well off to the “average” person. We’re all in the same boat unless super rich.
