I think Doug is mentioning wealth vs income because you wrote, in the quoted text above: $60k a year. From Doug’s calculations, it seemed

Right. I was confused by the “per year.” $45,000 would yield only
about $2,250/yr, which isn’t much by US standards but is about the
per capita income of Pakistan (PPP basis).
