Reminds me of Mitt Romney's comments in 2012 about borrowing money from your parents:

> “We’ve always encouraged young people, take — take a shot, go for it. Take a risk. Get the education. Borrow money, if you have to, from your parents. Start a business.”

After being in the US for so many years now, earlier i used to feel such comments were blatant lies that obviously people with their own agendas do.

However now i feel that some people really live in such a bubble that they do not have a basic understanding of the society they are living in and what 'average', 'above average','middle class' etc. means

It's one banana, Michael, what could it cost? Ten dollars?

We all live in bubbles, it's the nature of our existence because we have limited capacity for understanding experiences outside of our own.
