What it means

A comparison meme contrasts what “rich” looked like in 2006 with what counts as rich in 2026. The 2006 version shows Tony Soprano-style luxury: a large house, pool, Escalade, boat, cigar, Rolex, plasma TV and gabagool. The 2026 version jokes that ordinary financial stability—owning a house, having a garage, buying guacamole, affording streaming services and filling up without checking the price—now feels wealthy.
