Well maybe the poor person world with yachts or owns a boat and has some knowledge in that field.

But they would still lack tangible experience in OWNING a yacht (unless they only became poor recently, possibly due to buying too many yachts), and their perspective on the relative merits of owning one would be colored by their own poverty (ie, who can justify buying a yacht when you can barely afford to pay your rent each month?).

And if I was sitting on millions in disposable income, my personal situation would be so radically different from theirs, almost every possible discussion involving finances would be coming from such different places, we'd essentially be speaking entirely different languages and living in two entirely different worlds.

On the other hand, there are plenty of issues where economics don't necessarily play a role, and thus, where "lol you're poor" wouldn't be an effective counter-argument.
