The problem is that there is a vast number of people in modern societies whom do not come from a stable background.
Something I have realised since managing to work my family out of the trenches is that the majority of people really do not have any idea on just how bad things can be. And I should add it is not their fault in the slightest. If you’re not living amongst it the articles you read in mainstream media seem like rare anomalies but the reality is that they are not.
The biggest benefit to having a stable background is the ability to be more selective about the job you take as you know there is a safety net.
When you are literally living paycheque to paycheque you don’t even want to risk having to complete another round of probation in a better job as you run the risk of being unemployed in three months time and loss of one month’s salary can start a spiral which makes your currently manageable situation a lot less so.
I say this from personal experience as someone in the UK, I can’t speak for anywhere else.
