Do you feel an $8k/month private nursing home a luxury?

What I’ve noticed is what Americans consider “bare minimum” is pretty luxurious.

“I’m not even middle class” means buying a single family home in the most expensive coastal cities, multiple international (Mexico and Canada don’t count) per year, a couple SUVs less than 5 years old, lots of toys, plus $5M when they retire at 55.

Of course most people can’t afford that. That’s upper class in the US.
