Yes, poor people have color TVs

[Divine Discontent]

14. lolololol... exactly, NYC_SKP. I think that's a big chunk of it right there, my friend! spot ON!

I also like the comment from the OP, "A sign of richness now is having a good gym membership, bespoke clothes, eating at fancy restaurants, etc... all things that specifically don't get cheaper with automation (or at least not much cheaper).", this is quite true. And, they have maids, and lawn care, and they buy $300 eye wear and $1000 jewelry and watches, not cheap $2 sunglasses.

I do get annoyed when my one friend asks me if I watched the latest episode of whatever, and I keep telling him, "I don't have cable" (can't afford it and don't want to sacrifice elsewhere to have it), and yet he is supposed to be poorer than I am and it's like $80 a month. lol. But that's one of their very few splurges in life. "Poorer" working-class folks can have cell phones, cable, a nice pair of shoes etc, and the rich can kiss all of our arses! It's the fact that the rich, after buying the best brands of everything the masses buy the cheapest, still have huge sums in their bank accounts, and a retirement. But, yes, I have heard the negative comments from the well to do about how poor people have this or that... well duh, it's a consumer good, they're not that expensive, and the point is, these rich folks have big incomes and vast (what I'd call) fortunes in the million plus range.
