The article even touches on how everyone is trying to keep up with the Joneses instead of living within their means. Everyone is in a different financial position but instead of recognizing that and living a life you can afford, people get jealous of what their neighbours have or their friends are doing and pursue the same lifestyle regardless of if they can afford it or not.

That is a ton of money and if you have debt and bills you can’t handle then unless it’s just a result of horrible life circumstances, it’s most likely your own bad decisions.
