Wealth Perception and Comparison

The podcast delves into how wealth is not an absolute measure but is relative, with people often comparing their wealth to others. The speaker uses examples like a baseball player feeling 'broke' next to a higher-earning teammate and high-paid hedge fund managers being overshadowed by even wealthier individuals. This comparison game, fueled by ever-increasing standards, showcases the perpetual struggle of defining wealth relative to others.
