Median wealth per adult has the USA at #28, below Italy, Spain, Slovenia, and Portugal.

Income is the relevant metric. Most poor people (worldwide) have negligible savings.

USA 25th percentile 28k to 30k EU-27 50th percentile 24k to 26k.

This comment contradicts your earlier comment though, where you mentioned “poor people have”, a clear reference to wealth rather than earnings.

		In the US people don't say "has money" as meaning net worth, they are generally talking about spendable money ie a paycheck unless you're talking about someone super rich who "has money" or "comes from money."

		> a clear reference to wealth rather than earnings. No, sorry, it isn't. People commonly use the phrase "has money" to refer to income in American English.

This is moving the goalposts. You said "have more money than."

		Yes. Spendable money. Income. The common meaning of the phrase among non-rich people.
