Well I have a friend who makes more in 1 day than I pay in rent.

He talks about being broke all of the time, but doesn't mention the fact that he's always traveling, has bought 3 cars in a year and lives in a large house and he started and shut down a business within 1 year. He doesn't think he has money, but that's because he spends it. If he could afford those things, so can other people in his bracket.

If he saved all of his money he might complain about his poor lifestyle, but for some reason he doesn't seem to realize that they're all choices. He could have easily bought a house half the size and price. It would stil be large. The article was right.
