While my family was middle class, I went to a "Gossip Girl" school in Manhattan and grew up surrounded by wealth. So I've noticed the same thing you have -- that many middle class people don't know just how much some people have, or what it means to be so wealthy that a $60,000 purchase means less to you than the cost of a cut of meat does to the typical supermarket shopper.
Fortunately, I also learned that that kind of wealth adds very little to the sum of happiness. In the end, I think it really is more about getting there than being there.
