How to distinguish a rich American from a poor
'05.12.2017'
In the states, distinguishing a rich person from a poor one is not always easy. Talking now about Michigan. All people dress simply enough, no one sticks out the labels for show, the iPhones are for everyone first, and women are not hung with all the gold that they have.
But let's look at specific points.
By car
The poor man has 3 options:
- He has no car at all;
- He has an old wreck;
- He took a normal car on credit (although he cannot afford it).
A rich person also has options:
- He has the most common car - it's more common in Michigan, often a pickup truck that costs more than other models.
2. He has a super dashboard car. Well, most likely, the car he is not alone.
House
Rich people always have their own homes - most likely, it will be a large private house on a fairly large plot of land, or in a closed community.
Poor people cannot afford to buy their homes, so they live more often either in trailers, in motels, or in small rented apartments.
Salary
Rich people will most likely have their own business, and maybe not even one.
Poor people live paycheck to paycheck. Minimum w. in Michigan - about $ 1000 per month.
When I asked my American husband what the main difference between the rich and the poor was, he said:
“Rich people always invest money with the expectation of making a profit, they always have savings. Poor people do not have savings and invest money in things, for example, take out a loan to buy a new phone ”.
