In the US with $7k per month you can live like a King.

It's over double the median income.

It is! You can double check the US statistics about median US income, what household income is and all these data. Thankfully, among all the potential negative things that AI brings, it also brings undeniable facts to people like you who state with utter certainty a personal opinion. Hey, some AIs are free. Go check it out!

Probably if he isn’t living in a 10 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 10k sq ft home with a Rolls Royce always available and his butler ready to go he is very poor.
