That's an excuse you made for yourself to feel better.

mind you given the topic of the article I took the jobs in question to mean largely in the software industry, not talking about minimum wage workers here.
But as a programmer I am quite baffled when peers my age, often without kids struggle in this kind of way. My essentials are rent, food, metro card, library card. When I hear people who make what I make say that living requires a lot of money that usually includes two dozen subscriptions, a few grand in useless electronics per year and ordering food most of the week.
