I must have made it sound harder than it is, but my household income is well above the poverty line, and I don’t have any kids. Even with that financial flexibility though, I still can’t afford to spend recklessly.
Let’s put it this way, my last big “non-necessary” purchase was a firearm, and I literally reviewed it and considered it for 3 years. For a less than 1000 dollar purchase.
I think it’s hard enough and harder than it had to be.
There’s plenty of wealth, food, housing, etc. but it’s not fairly distributed and the distribution just gets more and more skewed due to tax rules and other regulations in favor of the richᵀᴹ.
