United? No. Struggle? absolutely. Two friends of mine. A divorced guy who lives (lived) in Manhattan, with two kids and an ex-wife to support is struggling more than most just to to maintain. What about another who makes his 250K+ as a Doctor and is therefore saddled by 300K+ in debt? Not to mention the insane insurance premiums he needs to pay in order to practice medicine. It is all relative really.
The numbers are different but the old saying "mo' money, mo' problems" was made up by successful poor people for a reason.
