I think being not poor and not worrying about the future is a bit contradictory for everyone except the very small part of top 1% who are independently wealthy.

I think being not poor and not worrying about the future is a bit contradictory for everyone except the very small part of top 1% who are independently wealthy. Probably under 0.1%. Poverty is a stable, default state, everything else requires constant effort and standing the competition.
