I think there’s multiple buckets here.

One is the old fashioned poverty you bring up. It exists, it sucks. A lot of people are struggling.

Another one is people that technically have all they need but spend money they don’t have on things that they don’t really need. This leads to being stuck “working hard” and for working longer than you would normally do (since you don’t really have a choice - you’ve gotta pay that loan)

I suspect the latter is a minority.

Those people are, at the least, one layoff away from a reset that puts them in the former category.
