They're really not child's play. At least not for me. I've been poor. Not homeless poor, but paycheque-to-paycheque, zero dollars in the bank, $1500 on some maxed out credit cards, just budgeted out the non-negotiable bills (rent, heat, credit card minimum payment) for this month and I need to find $8.47 in the sofa to break even and guess I'll hit up the food bank to feed myself again sorta poor. I make... decent money now. Is my life objectively better? Yes. Does the stress of figuring out where my next meal comes from and the stress of figuring out where my meals 30 years from now and how to finance my child's education feel different? No. Anxiety is anxiety. Just because in a global context it's not as bad doesn't mean it's not as bad to the individual.
