    I mean, sure plenty of folks don’t earn enough to do those things, but plenty do. You work simply because you’re not getting anything (or not getting enough) for free.

      Yeah, what if only, I dunno, less than 10% of the world population is actually earning enough to not have to worry about cost of living, owning a home and caring for their families? No biggie!!

        More than 60% of adults the world over own a home though, and that’s ignoring the numerous countries where it’s simply the done thing to rent, so the overwhelming majority own a home. Nearly everyone has money worries, whether you’re earning a pittance or a good wage. Most people might be 1 or 2 paychecks from being broke or homeless, but the majority of people manage within their means to feed, clothe, and house themselves and their families, even if it is tough.
