Some pre-observation. Curiosity.
This applies differently in each countries.
In my country, most of us often perceive to categorise people in the exceptionally rich and the exceptionally poor category. 2 categories.
What about the moderate and also the different degrees of rich and poor ?
People who are in the questionable gap I stated may stumble to be mistakenly categorised between those 2 exceptionally categories.
Income is not a straightforward conversation.
In economic matters, yes, monetary income is important.
This is as far as to what I understand. Anyone can disagree and ignore this sentence.
In relation to life, it's more than pure money before you start measuring a person's wealth. (Changing the 'income' to 'wealth')
Relationships with another human is money.
The accessibility of resources from the location you live in that benefits you, is money.
And lots of matters that we find commonplace to us are important to another person.
Life is more than the numbers you have in banks and wallets
The abundance of life is all in the mix of happiness and sadness.
If you only add this in that wealth context. Measure again.
Tell me how rich or how poor are you.
From here, I trust your judgement.
And I'm not surprised if we actually don't have that much difference in that huge exceptionally gap at all.
Before I end this, to those who think they could predict the wealthiness level of a person.
If you add the good deeds and sins in the wealth context.
Also, you add the people who were given abundance and lacking in the wealth context.
With these, nobody knows. Only Allah knows.
Wealth is not a straightforward conversation.
Alhamdulillah, be grateful on what we have now.
