I work in the IT business so I talk quite a bit with people from places like India and Pakistan. One of my co-workers moved here from India. I remember my co-worker told me that the thing that surprised him the most when he got here is seeing how "good" the middle class lived in America. He specifically mentioned things like houses and apartments that didn't have leaking roofs, every home has a TV and computer, we can buy new or near new cars that don't have holes in the floor.
To them, living on a 50K year salary in the US is like being rich because where they are from the middle class there live very poorly.
It's all perspective.
