I disagree. Scaredy was specifically referencing how you stand among your peers not society. FWIW, i would and have always found a way to be happy no matter how lean times are. I spent months and years living off of a bag of soft pretzels for lunch and spaghetti for dinner. I spent plenty of years struggling mightily just to get by. I gave up a career, moved cross country and lived off minimum wage jobs when I could get them in the early 90’s in order to care for an elderly parent. I never felt anything but blessed.
