Who is living in all this hedonism?

Every person like me (white collar middle/upper-middle class) is extemely aware of their health, regulates choice of food severely, lives a disciplined life. Every poor person I know works two shifts or has a secondary occupation to make ends meet, and is one medical emergency away from bankruptcy.

Now, I have known few uber-rich who live in hedonistic ways, but the number is extremely small. All of us are living an extremely self-regulated lives.

Where are all the hedonistic people I keep hearing about? I am seriously asking.
