They can't afford to do the same.

I cannot afford it but I completely understand the situation. I've been unhappy with everything in my life since I started working 20 years ago. I'm not living paycheck to paycheck anymore but I cannot afford anything because as soon as I have some money there's some fucking emergency happening. Roof on fire, car accident, heating pipes explosion, electric connection on fire, bike stolen.... it's like clockwork: I save some money, something happens.
