it’s a dumb stat to push a dumb headline that seems dramatic so people can bias-confirm about how poor they are.
even if they are objectively not. i live in an area with 3 million dollar homes and 1 million dollar apartments, and every owner here will love to tell you how poor they are and how they are struggling in life and they dont’ have enough money.
i remember being in college and people whining about how broke they were, when they were dropping $5000 on a single spring break trip… statistically yeah those people are ‘broke’ but their parents were often millionaires.
