Yeah, i wish we lived in a world of unlimited resources too. But we don't.
I read this as you being so out of touch with reality that you don't think that middle class or hell even lower class suburban living is a life of ease compared to the world average. when you compare it to history it's even better. You have so few worries that you're able to worry about the future (security, health, diet). That in itself is a luxury.
