The point I'm trying to make is that comparing the poor in United States with the poor in extremely impoverished countries is like comparing apples and oranges. In order to confirm or deny your guess of where I fall on that diagram I'd need to know more about the criteria. But it's probably a good guess.

Look, I don't think the poor in the US have it good by my standards but by others standards they may be doing quite well. It's all perspective.
