    Kinda depends on what your means are though. Some budgets are impossible to balance. It’s easy to have a full time job here that doesn’t support a minimal lifestyle, like even if you put 3 minimum wage earners in an apartment here it would not work now.

    Also most people in the US at least are one medical emergency away from financial ruin.

    But if you are putting things like food and healthcare in your bucket of things people can’t afford but are buying, sure, dead people presumably don’t worry.
