> You're a programmer, you are not poor. This is hugely Silicon-Valley-centric. There are millions of skilled programmers outside that culture, who have never had a six-figure salary, many who have never even worked for a tech company. Just regular (white-collar) working people with the same kinds of burdens that the average American (or European, or person from any other developed country on the planet) has to deal with. In short, this shows how much you live in a bubble and don't understand what life is like outside of it.
