Yes, this is of course one of the reasons why "being rich" doesn't mean
the same amount of $s everywhere in the world.  It depends on what kind
of society you live in.

In Norway, for instance, most people have no need of a health insurance,
university fees are really small (around $200/year), and heating and
electricity is cheap.  My current net income is about $32,000 per year,
which is actually very comfortable, despite vacation expenses much
bigger than yours.  :-)
