I mean, I live like I'm impoverished. Rarely ever go out to eat, most of my meals are cooked by myself and extremely cheap. I wear clothes with holes in them because I can't typically afford to buy more, and when I do have enough to shop I go thrifting. My days are spent working, and my nights are spent pirating media because I can't afford subscriptions, or playing free to play games. I'm absolutely miserable, and still, still am nowhere close to ever saving enough money to afford a downpayment on a house.
It's never an issue of us "living within our means." The issue is the billionaires at the top hoarding money like dragons.
Yeah it’s a very centrist mindset to think this is a problem of people’s spending habits and not the economic system of exploitation taking from us.
