I bought myself two homes after the 07 crash that I rent for profit while I travel the world.
There is no amount of bills that are equivalent to starving in the street in a third world country. Not paying your bills will not result in death.

Yeah, AMEN - we DO live in the absolute best country in the world. But because YOU are squeaking by with a couple of real estate properties, then struggle just doesn't exist in the middle class, eh? We're all fucking retards, eh? You might wanna open your fucking eyes a bit wider, judgy-boy.

Literally the point of the article is that the struggle is relative. We live like kings in comparison to almost every other human since the dawn of time. Take a deep breath and remember no matter how many bills you got, you won't get beheaded for not paying, you won't starve in the street. Show a little gratitude or thank your lucky stars. Compared to 200,000 years of human history, you live at a means far beyond royalty.
I'm not squeaking by, I live an incredibly luxurious life. I've never gone hungry.
