And then there's just overall financial clueless-ness.
My SIL who's husband makes an easy 7 figures a year and lives in a 3.5MM house.
One day we were all chatting tangentially about financial differences and she said: "Well, you know, someone working in a grocery store could afford to live in my neighborhood".
We sat there with our mouths open for a few seconds and then said: "No, no they couldn't...you'r house is worth over 3 million dollars; your property taxes are more than they make in three years". She said: "Don't be silly. Of course they could! Anybody can afford to live here; we're nothing special" She meant it.
Marie Antoinette I suppose.
