I'm going to call bullshit on this, as I currently rest well above a single order of magnitude beyond minimum wage. Life is awesome. I own a business. We have health coverage. We eat high quality nutrient rich food. We take our 4 kids to a lake house for a month every year. I work when I feel like it. We travel globally. I've got more options than I ever thought possible. Sure, sitting around getting loaded smoking cigarettes is Fun. This is better. A lot better.

Okay, but if you can afford not to work ("I work when I feel like it") you're not in the middle class, you're upper class. Compared to solidly middle class people, your life is also much better.

  No doubt. I've experienced the spectrum.
