Most people in my village are making around E500/month and they are pretty happy ; is that possible anywhere in the US? I think that would explain something; it's basically that people can afford to live happily because the things that really matter are from the gov. Public transport, healthcare and food if you really cannot pay for it (500 is enough actually to get to restaurants here a few time per month and a drink at the bar daily). But if something goes wrong (fridge breaks etc), you don't end up under a bridge.
