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.

Yeah, lucky all right. LUCKY to pay $300 a month just for food. Know how much $300 a month gets you in a third world nation? Me either :-) But south of the US border it's get you several months' worth of food at least. Wanna travel farther than your enlightened bicycle can take you? Another $50-200 a month for fucking gasoline. Fuck the article, fuck your sanctimony. Let one of the truly "grateful" people come to this country and foot a months' worth of retard bills. OH WAIT - they're mostly standing in fucking line at the Welfare office...

Don't live beyond your means if you can't take the stress.
