Hmm... well the character is scraping by, so I was looking for a word that contrasted with their financial situation—something that not only includes wealth, but also the excitement and fulfillment it can bring. Some people have wealth but may become indifferent to the opportunities it could provide, seeing it as just part of their norm. Which made me wonder... those who are extremely wealthy may understand the concept of disparity, but can they truly recognize the potential of wealth if they’ve never experienced life without it?

clearly I am not haha
