My wife is from Mexico. When I first met her, I told her I was a poor American. After she came to visit me in USA, she was surprised and said “you’re not poor! You eat fast food all the time, you own your own car, you have a refrigerator and cupboard full of food. You have air-conditioning, etc. etc. You are RICH. I AM poor in Mexico!”

After we had been married a few years, we traveled to India on a mission trip. After she saw the conditions the people lived in there she said “I always thought I was poor in Mexico, but now I see that I was rich! At least I always had a roof over my head and knew that I would at least have beans to eat. These people are poor!”
