$49,000 vs. $3,000,000

Three million is not the vast fortune it used to be, but it still dwarfs $49,000.

While he was in the Senate, the title of “the poorest senator” long went to Joe Biden. Housing in DC is so expensive, he used to commute by train to and from his home in Delaware. That’s a 90 minute commute each way. It may not seem like much to some, but take it from one who usually travels between two and five hours each way to work (depending on which country I have to be in on any given day), it can get old.
