I'm sure some people are trying to give genuine advice, but "move somewhere cheaper" or "live within your means" are misguided at best. As I've already stated, there can be lots of reasons why someone can't or wouldn't want to uproot their life. And I try to give people the benefit of the doubt on their lifestyle choices because I know they aren't buying rolexes and taking multiple vacations per year. The simple fact is many wages just don't line up with the cost of living, why would I make negative assumptions about spending habits instead?

I'm sure the ruling class loves knowing that working people bicker over stuff like this instead of noticing how badly the wealth gap that's the actual problem has gotten

I agree with this, despite my previous comment about people earning 6 figures struggling. Yes, some people are bad with money and need to be more financially responsible, but there is currently a global housing and inflation crisis. A growing amount of people aren't struggling because all these people suddenly got bad with money.
