80/20 is a function of decadence though -
If I have $20,000 and go to buy something
and Mr. Smith has $100,000 and goes to buy that same type of item
it goes without saying that Mr. Smith has more buying power by using both a higher dollar figure, and a lower percentage of his income.
Hence Mr. Smith can afford the Mercedes E350, and I buy a used Mazda - both are cars, we both budget about the same (% of income) but cause Mr. Smith would never be caught dead in a Mazda....
