6. When you make above a certain amount of money

The price of food and consumer goods doesn't really affect you. A $20/week increase in grocery cost does not affect someone who makes $150k or higher, but it certainly is a burden for someone at $50k or under.

This is like when I witnessed a FB friend of mine complaining about gas prices a few years ago. He easily makes $300k or higher a year. And he meant for his expensive boat, not driving to and from work. There is a complete disconnect for people in the top 10%. They just don't comprehend "real life" for working people who aren't fortunate enough to have a way to make that kind of jack(he sells high-end homes to multi-millionaires in S. Florida).
