So they will have high net worth when they die prematurely due to stress and poor lifestyle.
Yeah, "prematurely" as in a good 2-3 decades later, and in much cushier positions, that people working their bones out every day in the developing work or working class jobs in the first world, making 1/50 to 1/5 the money.
Household income is not the same as one person's wage. The media household income includes tons of couples where both are working.
And while "income is not the same thing as wealth", still making 80k in income (not wealth) puts you at the top 13%. You get into 1% of USA is 300K.
As for the world, 80K (net) income put you at 0.1% globally.
