above average salary because I put the effort in

And those who doesn't have a comfortable life must not put the effort in? The unhoused, the disabled, those with medical debt, the people who make below average salary. Say, the minimum wage families living out of their car, just aren't trying hard enough?

I was also lucky enough to not be born in a 3rd world hell hole where terms like "medical debt" exist. I have to pay parking when I go to the hospital.

Or are you thinking all capitalist countries are the same?

I'm going to hazard a guess that if you live in a country where medical debt does not exist, you have socialized healthcare.

One heck of a guess. Well done.
