I got this comment as a reply to my post:
You can get a job and do your math, too.
Other people do more with less, why can't you?

Greed and entitlement.

I feel quite offended, that I have to care about someone else who “do more with less”. What does it have to do with greed? I do not get the thought process behind it.
I wonder if I am overreacting. I would feel better if they just said to get a job, but it felt more like they are trying to make fun of me.
EDIT: Thanks everyone for thoughtful replies! Now I feel a lot better - I was in very bad mood when I got the reply above, so I felt even more attacked. Still, I should learn to not get overly offended like this.
there is a lot of people who are stressed and angry about not having more, despite having 100x the wealth of the average person.
in fact most people i know making 50-100K, are a lot less angry and stressed than those making 300-500K. ironically. the latter think they are in poverty for some reason, despite being on the top of the economic ladder, and the former are annoyed they can’t afford a home but aren’t grateful how good their life is.
