    It depends on a lot of things IMO. A family of five in expensive parts of California could live a generally traditional life in a small/medium house and still technically be a millionaire if you go off housing prices or whatever. The problem there then isn't with them in particular, especially since they're likely just an IT worker or some other shit that's still oppressed and has their value stolen, but rather the outcome that should be aspired to for all.

    Every family should have a place to live with access to food, clothing entertainment etc. The issue isn't that someone has it but rather that others do not.

    This is different however from the bourgeois and millionaires who make their money off of exploiting labor. People who have butlers or secretaries, land that they will never use, who go through fast fashion at a disgusting rate. They live their life beyond basic rights that should be afforded to all, and do so explicitly by taking those rights from others.

      Yeah, I have friends in LA whose rinkadink home is 750k but they can't afford daycare so one parent stays home until both are in school.
