It's good that it's getting harder. People who didn't need to live paycheck to paycheck were doing so and getting really comfortable in that. Then they had the nerve to present their material possessions as some sign of social class or "wealth." Sure, you have a nice car and new clothes, but you only have $500 in the savings account. Not a good safety net in case something happens. And don't dare have the nerve to get social services. The social services should've been you trading in that car and not buying those nice new clothes. People are spending on borrowed money and spending before they even get their paychecks. This consumerism has been feeding capitalism for decades.

Being poor sucks whether you're an underemployed adult or a student. Take some time to learn about investment opportunities or anything that can make your money work for you. This doesn't mean that everyone will be successful in getting out of poor status. 90% of people won't. But it means that the people with access to the info can learn and see what the outcome is.
