    You’re right. I should have just tried harder to be wealthy but I couldn’t afford to buy the bootstraps to pull myself up with.

        I think it’s wealthier than half the country. Far more than half, in fact. Because plenty of the people who aren’t living paycheck-to-paycheck still want to do things like go out to eat a couple of times a month or buy the latest games just so their lives aren’t totally miserable, so they aren’t able to save up $5000 either.

        Congratulations on your privilege though.
