When you compare my cost of living to my income, I am not welathy. The foods you mention - well, I ould eat the rie, but the beans are right out, and there is no animal based protein in that diet. If I were forced to live on $1 a day, or even $5 a day, I would die of malnutrition. (and not the kind that most Americans dies of. I would not be able to get enough protein to maintain life.)

I am very happy to live my First World life. I would be long dead anywhere else.
