At minimum wage, any expense is brutal when viewed as a percentage of your income. It sucks to be poor. You have to pick and choose what you spend money on, and you still don't have enough. My comment was more about how I think the parent comment over-inflated the cost when saying "10-20 years ago in "first world" countries was [20% of income]" because my experience in a first world country was much less expensive. To my knowledge, the US has fairly expensive internet compared to other first world countries so I'm not sure how that statement holds up globally but I'd assume it doesn't.
