I totally Disagree. Poor has become increasingly relative with Loans,
Credit and plastic.
I have known individuals with salaries close to mine (at the time mine was 8
and hour theirs wasn't more than 10-15) Running around in brand-new shiny
something's that would take them 6 years to pay off.
As for Planes, boats, etc. They are all hobbies. Just as you might spend 3
grand a year feeding your WW habit. Some just spend that on flying or
boating.
Besides, not many of you buy a Powermatic with your two neighbors.
If you consider what I paid so I could make/build stuff (apparently I
haven't gotten much further than a hobby for the most part) with an
education, the flyers still come out on top even with training/license.

Very few "poor" people own planes.

Nor do they own boats, R/V's, race cars, vacation homes, custom
motorcycles, horses, or really nice in ground swimming pools, but many
"average" folks I know do.

And damned few poor folks own SUVs. Too bad ownership hasn't remained
confined
to people will to take them where they belong, off-road.
