Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

No, those are the super rich. Say I'm battling some powers on a local level. I have a net worth of $120k and an income of $45k a year. They have a $3 million ranch, net worth of $15 million, basically own the local sheriff and town council. But they're not "rich" because there's someone elsewhere with more money than them?
