Translation: Hey, someone else has it even worse than you, why aren't you happy?!

This completely ignores that you can be better off than someone else and still live in a shitty situation, but it sounds so nice ..

That's why many philosophies boil down to: you're going to be dead soon, you might as well start enjoying it, and if you're not... well... you know what to do.

Only in America would people who borrowed money to take a 4 year sabbatical be complaining about being poor.
