how rich is "rich person" - because my relative scale is so bad that being in a car with heated seats feels very "rich person" even though it's more like upper-middle class (if I'm not mistaken)

if "rich person" is more like top 1%, I'm not sure there's anything I've done that's "rich person":

    Buy sandwiches every week. In my defence, they're damn good ones!

    Go to Michelin starred restaurants. I'm too poor to justify going to these places but my mom likes to take me out for my birthday, and I really love food so I will inevitably agree after a very feeble protest.

    I've tasted tea in a teahouse that would be over $1000 a pound.

    I've lived on Queen Mary 2 for almost a year.

    I don't splurge much on clothes, technology, vehicles, food, etc...but every month I do get a professional massage (get your head out of the gutter ...totally non-sexual). Helps with all the muscle tension that builds up from daily stress from everything (work, life, anything). If you've never had one, I highly suggest trying it out at least once.

    I bought a piece of outdoor furniture yesterday. The nice kind of outdoor furniture which won't immediately rot in the Pacific Northwest.

    ...but just one piece.

    meanwhile 90% of Chinese people own their homes, and of those 80% own their home outright (no mortgage or other liens)

    not sure we should consider home ownership "rich person" stuff, tbh - though it breaks my heart that this is what it has come to

    Buying my used car with cash. It's the single most expensive thing I've ever bought not counting rent or my degree.

    I also drink lattes which is why I can't afford a home
