I don’t have an answer, I just wanted to say that I can empathize, since I had the exact same experience when I talk about my bike touring.

“Hey, I’m cycling a year across Africa, wild camping” (spending ~$10 a day) - Me, on a bike.

“wow, must be nice to be rich, love I could live like that” - grumbling person with more comfort and money than I’d ever have on tour.
