Yup, and you do so through the pain and suffering of billions of those less fortunate than you who slave away to provide you that quality of life that you deny to them.
believe it or not the system has also improved the lives of billions of people:
Two centuries ago, the majority of the world population was extremely poor. Back then, it was widely believed that widespread poverty was inevitable. But this turned out to be wrong. Economic growth is possible, and poverty can decline. The world has made immense progress against extreme poverty.
Really any cursory glance at how the World Bank defines “extreme poverty” and the cause of “poverty reduction” reveals this for the farce that it is. The World bank defines “Extreme poverty” as earning less then $3 a day.
Around 2 billion people on this planet remain subsistence farmers. They grow food, that they then eat, they may sell some food to buy things but for the most part these people do not really make any money. When subsistence farmers are forced off their farms to look for a work, they suddenly become wage earners and are removed from “poverty”.
Being moved from a subsistence farmer to a 12 hrs a day sweatshop slave is not poverty reduction. The real term for it is much more enlightening: proletarianization.

It’s great that poverty seems to decline. However, have you ever wondered what caused/causes poverty on the first place?
Spoiler alert: it’s not caused by people that are not grinding enough
