That is... a gross simplification. There is a cost of living. If you include people giving you stuff for free in the "how much one makes" category, then you need shelter, food, healthcare, etc. There are plenty of people who struggle to make enough to pay for these necessities. We call this "poverty", and it absolutely is a matter of "how much one makes".

Even in poverty having to spend more than one makes is a problem. Therefore my statement maybe simple but true.
The best kind of truth in my book. I have lots of ideas about poverty but I was actually responding to the trap of high-earners. Careful spending is more critical in impoverished situations.
