IME if you're assuming anonymous internet poor person is like your strawman friend who bought a nicer car than you, you're already assuming they have a lot more money than they actually do.

Not using strawmen, using actual people, none of whom earn as much as an entry level programmer in the US. It was a counter point to a common generalization. I believe completely there are many in the US who must budget well and barely get by. I've seen it. But I'm skeptical the average HNer falls into this category.
